Hip joint articular soft tissues of non-dinosaurian Dinosauromorpha and early Dinosauria: evolutionary and biomechanical implications for Saurischia [PDF]

, 2018
Dinosauromorphs evolved a wide diversity of hind limb skeletal morphologies, suggesting highly divergent articular soft tissue anatomies. However, poor preservation of articular soft tissues in fossils has hampered any follow-on functional inferences. We

Feathered Dinosaurs Reconsidered: New Insights from Baraminology and Ethnotaxonomy [PDF]

, 2018
Birds could not have evolved from land animal ancestors because Genesis clearly states that birds and land animals were created on separate days. As a result, young-earth creationists have consistently opposed the theory that birds evolved from dinosaurs.

Exceptional Preservation of Non-Mineralized Biomaterials in Fossils of the Avialae Clade

Thousands of primitive and diverse fossils birds from Mesozoic and Cenozoic have been discovered around the world. Among these, hundreds of studies have found exceptional preservation of mineralized biomaterials, allowing to expand the knowledge about the ecology and Evolution of birds.
