Perinatal Specimens of Saurolophus angustirostris (Dinosauria: Hadrosauridae), from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia. [PDF]
The Late Cretaceous Nemegt Formation, Gobi Desert, Mongolia has already yielded abundant and complete skeletons of the hadrosaur Saurolophus angustirostris, from half-grown to adult individuals.Herein we describe perinatal specimens of Saurolophus ...

Description and etiology of paleopathological lesions in the type specimen of Parasaurolophus walkeri (Dinosauria: Hadrosauridae), with proposed reconstructions of the nuchal ligament [PDF]
The fossilized lesions in Parasaurolophus walkeri comprise periodontal disease, fractured ribs, and myositis ossificans traumatica in a number of vertebral dorsal spines and in the ilium. The injuries appear to have been caused by one or more non‐threatening events. The discoidal overgrowth on the dorsal spines m ight represent a pathological correlate

Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent

During the Cretaceous, diversifications and turnovers affected terrestrial vertebrates experiencing the effects of global geographical change. However, the poor fossil record from the early Late Cretaceous has concealed how dinosaurs and other ...

We contrast the morphology of calvarial sutures through ontogeny and evolution in iguanodontian dinosaurs to test whether the evolution of cranial crests impacted the mechanical loading of the skull. We found that increased suture complexity coincided with crest evolution, and corresponding modifications to their skull altered stress distribution while

A new hadrosauroid dinosaur from the early late cretaceous of Shanxi Province, China. [PDF]
BackgroundThe origin of hadrosaurid dinosaurs is far from clear, mainly due to the paucity of their early Late Cretaceous close relatives. Compared to numerous Early Cretaceous basal hadrosauroids, which are mainly from Eastern Asia, only six early Late ...
