A partial skeleton of an enantiornithine bird from the early Cretaceous of northwestern China [PDF]
Although recent discoveries from Lower Cretaceous sediments in northeastern China have greatly improved our understanding of the initial stages of avian diversification in eastern Asia, the early evolution of Aves elsewhere on the continent remains ...

The Integration Of Morphology, Variation, And Phylogenetics To Better Understand Fossil Taxa And Their Modern Relatives [PDF]
Morphology, or shapes, particularly of bones, is important for understanding how animals vary and, therefore, for understanding diversity. Comparison of morphology in animals can be used to make inferences on fossil organisms.

Cretaceous dinosaurs in New Mexico [PDF]
New Mexico's most extensive fossil record of dinosaurs is from rocks of Cretaceous age. The Early Cretaceous record is confined to tracks of late Albian age, principally from northeastern NM. They are primarily of ornithopods (Caririchnium, Amblydactylus)
