Relative skull size evolution in Mesozoic archosauromorphs: potential drivers and morphological uniqueness of erythrosuchid archosauriforms

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 65, Issue 3, May/June 2022., 2022
Abstract Little is known about the large‐scale evolutionary patterns of skull size relative to body size, and the possible drivers behind these patterns, in Archosauromorpha. For example, the large skulls of erythrosuchids, a group of non‐archosaurian archosauromorphs from the Early and Middle Triassic, and of theropod dinosaurs are regarded as ...

Testing for a dietary shift in the Early Cretaceous ceratopsian dinosaur Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 371-384, May 2021., 2021
Abstract Many dinosaurs may have shown ecological differentiation between hatchlings and adults, possibly because of the great size differential. The basal ceratopsian Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis is known from thousands of specimens from the Lower Cretaceous of China and these include many so‐called ‘juvenile clusters.’ During the early stages of ...

open access: yesVertebrate Anatomy, Morphology, Palaeontology, 2014
The postcranial skeleton of Vagaceratops (= Chasmosaurus) irvinensis (CMN 41357), lacking only the tail, most of the left front and left hind limbs, and portions of the pelvis, is preserved in articulation.

Ontogenetic stages of ceratopsian dinosaur Psittacosaurus in bone histology [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019
The early ceratopsians Psittacosaurus and Protoceratops have provided important information on dinosaurian development because of abundant specimens of adults, subadults, juveniles, and even hatchlings.

Osteohistology on Liaoceratops yanzigouensis (Dinosauria: Neoceratopsia) from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota [PDF]

open access: yes古脊椎动物学报 (中英文版)
Ceratopsia is among the most extensively studied groups of dinosaurs. However, research on ceratopsian osteohistology remains extremely limited, leaving significant gaps in our understanding of their growth rates, growth patterns, and life histories ...

Variation in the shape and mechanical performance of the lower jaws in ceratopsid dinosaurs (Ornithischia, Ceratopsia) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, 2015
AbstractCeratopsidae represents a group of quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaurs that inhabited western North America and eastern Asia during the Late Cretaceous. Although horns and frills of the cranium are highly variable across species, the lower jaw historically has been considered to be relatively conservative in morphology.
