The phylogenetic nomenclature of ornithischian dinosaurs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Ornithischians form a large clade of globally distributed Mesozoic dinosaurs, and represent one of their three major radiations. Throughout their evolutionary history, exceeding 134 million years, ornithischians evolved considerable morphological ...

Inside a duck-billed dinosaur: Vertebral bone microstructure of Huallasaurus (Hadrosauridae), Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)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

Multiple optimality criteria support Ornithoscelida [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 A recent study of early dinosaur evolution using equal-weights parsimony recovered a scheme of dinosaur interrelationships and classification that differed from historical consensus in a single, but significant, respect; Ornithischia and Saurischia were ...

A new ankylosaurine dinosaur from the Judith River Formation of Montana, USA, based on an exceptional skeleton with soft tissue preservation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 The terrestrial Judith River Formation of northern Montana was deposited over an approximately 4 Myr interval during the Campanian (Late Cretaceous). Despite having been prospected and collected continuously by palaeontologists for over a century, few ...

Taphonomy and taxonomy of a juvenile lambeosaurine (Ornithischia: Hadrosauridae) bonebed from the late Campanian Wapiti Formation of northwestern Alberta, Canada [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Hadrosaurid (duck-billed) dinosaur bonebeds are exceedingly prevalent in upper Cretaceous (Campanian–Maastrichtian) strata from the Midwest of North America (especially Alberta, Canada, and Montana, U.S.A) but are less frequently documented from more ...

Enamel microstructure and dental histology in a heterodontosaurid dinosaur: Heterodontosaurus tucki [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 Among non-avian dinosaurs, Heterodontosaurus tucki is unique for possessing complex dental features including both morphological and proportional heterodonty, sub-hypsodonty, tooth occlusion, and extensive low-angled wear facets—a collection of ...
