A Re-Evaluation of the Chasmosaurine Ceratopsid Genus Chasmosaurus (Dinosauria: Ornithischia) from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Dinosaur Park Formation of Western Canada. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 BACKGROUND:The chasmosaurine ceratopsid Chasmosaurus is known from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Dinosaur Park Formation of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Two valid species, Chasmosaurus belli and C. russelli, have been diagnosed by differences in

Skull ecomorphology of megaherbivorous dinosaurs from the dinosaur park formation (upper campanian) of Alberta, Canada. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Megaherbivorous dinosaur coexistence on the Late Cretaceous island continent of Laramidia has long puzzled researchers, owing to the mystery of how so many large herbivores (6-8 sympatric species, in many instances) could coexist on such a small (4-7 ...

The functional and palaeoecological implications of tooth morphology and wear for the megaherbivorous dinosaurs from the Dinosaur Park Formation (upper Campanian) of Alberta, Canada. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Megaherbivorous dinosaurs were exceptionally diverse on the Late Cretaceous island continent of Laramidia, and a growing body of evidence suggests that this diversity was facilitated by dietary niche partitioning. We test this hypothesis using the fossil

Rare evidence for ‘gnawing-like’ behavior in a small-bodied theropod dinosaur [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Mammalian carnivores show a higher degree of prey bone utilization relative to non-avian theropod dinosaurs, with this major ecological difference reflected in the frequency and morphology of tooth marks in modern and Cenozoic assemblages relative to ...

A new well-preserved sturgeon (Chondrostei: Acipenseridae) from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada [PDF]
Research & Knowledge, 2017 In June 2016, the remains of an articulated fish was discovered during field work in Dinosaur Provincial Park, in southern Alberta, Canada. Articulated remains of fishes are very rare in the park, so this specimen was carefully collected and prepared ...
