Budowa jamy nosowej i gebowej dinozaurów Protoceratopsidae (Ceratopsia, Ornithischia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Snout is very deep and laterally compressed in the Protoceratopsidae. Oral cavity is highly vaulted longitudinally and transversely. It wedges into the middle of the nasal chamber dorsally causing that ventral portion of the latter parallels oral cavity ...

Elevated evolutionary rates of biting biomechanics reveal patterns of extraordinary craniodental adaptations in some herbivorous dinosaurs

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 1, January/February 2024.
Abstract Adaptation to specialist ecological niches is a key innovation that has contributed to the evolutionary success of many vertebrate clades, underpinning the acquisition of diverse skull morphologies. Dinosaurs, which dominated Mesozoic terrestrial faunas, acquired herbivory multiple times, and evolution of these herbivorous adaptations is ...

Cranial osteology of Archaeoceratops oshimai (Ornithischia: Ceratopsia) and phylogenetic evaluation of basal Ceratopsia

open access: yesHistorical Biology
Archaeoceratops oshimai Dong & Azuma, 1997, is a representative early-diverging neoceratopsian dinosaur excavated from the Lower Cretaceous Xinminpu Group in the Mazongshan area of Gansu Province, China. As one of the basal members, it plays a critical role in understanding the origin and early evolution of horned dinosaurs.

Who is the most stressed? Morphological disparity and mechanical behavior of the feeding apparatus of ceratopsian dinosaurs (Ornithischia, Marginocephalia)

open access: yes, 2018
Ceratopsians were herbivorous dinosaurs that dominated many of the terrestrial ecosystems in Asia and North America during the Cretaceous. The bizarre variety of skulls and lower jaw morphologies as well as the inferred ecological abundance of many ...

Comparative anatomy and the masticatory system of basal Ceratopsia (Ornithischia, Dinosauria)

open access: yes, 2008
The Ceratopsia is one of the dominant herbivorous dinosaur taxa in Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems of Asia and western North America. Ceratopsians achieved an extreme adaptation in history of vertebrate herbivory, namely the vertical shear of dental ...

O filogenezie dinozaurów ptasiomiedniczych (Ornithischia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
The ornithischian dinosaurs are analysed using the cladistic methodology. The preferred hypothesis (see fig. 1) is that: 1. Ornithischia are monophyletic, 2. Ankylosauria are sister group of all other ornithischians, 3.

New protoceratopsid specimens improve the age correlation of the Upper Cretaceous Gobi Desert strata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
New protoceratopsid (Dinosauria: Ceratopsia) specimens from two Late Cretaceous Mongolian localities with problematic stratigraphy are described. A specimen of Protoceratops andrewsi from the Zamyn Khond locality enables its correlation with other sites ...
