Long-horned Ceratopsidae from the Foremost Formation (Campanian) of southern Alberta [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
The horned Ceratopsidae represent one of the last radiations of dinosaurs, and despite a decade of intense work greatly adding to our understanding of this diversification, their early evolution is still poorly known. Here, two postorbital horncores from

Problematic putative pachycephalosaurids: Synchrotron µCT imaging shines new light on the anatomy and taxonomic validity of Gravitholus albertae from the Belly River Group (Campanian) of Alberta, Canada

open access: yesVertebrate Anatomy, Morphology, Palaeontology, 2023
The taxonomic validity of the holotype and sole specimen of the pachycephalosaurid Gravitholus albertae (TMP 1972.027.0001) from the Belly River Group (Alberta, Canada), remains unresolved forty years after its first description.

The systematic relationships and biogeographic history of ornithischian dinosaurs [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
The systematic relationships of taxa traditionally referred to as ‘basal ornithopods’ or ‘hypsilophodontids’ remain poorly resolved since it was discovered that these taxa are not a monophyletic group, but rather a paraphyletic set of neornithischian ...

Computed tomographic analysis of the dental system of three Jurassic ceratopsians and implications for the evolution of tooth replacement pattern and diet in early-diverging ceratopsians

open access: yeseLife, 2022
The dental system of ceratopsids is among the most specialized structure in Dinosauria by the presence of tooth batteries and high-angled wear surfaces.

New perspectives on body size and shape evolution in dinosaurs. [PDF]

open access: yesBiol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Diversity in the body shapes and sizes of dinosaurs was foundational to their widespread success during the Mesozoic era. The ability to quantify body size and form reliably is therefore critical to the study of dinosaur biology and evolution.

Silesaurid (Archosauria: Dinosauriformes) remains from the base of the Dockum Group (Late Triassic: Otischalkian) of Texas provide new insights to the North American record of dinosauriforms. [PDF]

open access: yesAnat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Silesaurids (Archosauria: Dinosauriformes) are found in Middle to Upper Triassic deposits across Pangea, but few stratigraphic sections record the evolution of the group in one geographic area over millions of years. Here, we describe silesaurid remains from the oldest of the Upper Triassic stratigraphic sequence from the base of the Dockum ...

The postcranial skeleton of Vagaceratops irvinensis (Dinosauria, Ceratopsidae)

open access: yesVertebrate Anatomy, Morphology, Palaeontology, 2014
The postcranial skeleton of Vagaceratops (= Chasmosaurus) irvinensis (CMN 41357), lacking only the tail, most of the left front and left hind limbs, and portions of the pelvis, is preserved in articulation.

New Fossils of Stegosaurs from the Upper Jurassic of the Eastern Iberian Peninsula (Spain)

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
The eastern Iberian Peninsula is one of the places with most stegosaur fossils in all of Europe. In the present study, we describe new remains from six different fossil sites from the Upper Jurassic of the Villar del Arzobispo Formation (Kimmeridgian ...

A reassessment of the purported ankylosaurian dinosaur Bienosaurus lufengensis from the Lower Lufeng Formation of Yunnan, China [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019
The earliest definitive ornithischian dinosaurs are from the Early Jurassic and are rare components of early dinosaur faunas. The Lower Lufeng Formation (Hettangian–Sinemurian) of Yunnan Province, China, has yielded a diverse Early Jurassic terrestrial ...

Ornithischia

open access: yes, 2018
Ornithischians The J/K interval decline in subsampled diversity remains constant and recognisable throughout publication history, with this stability suggesting a real biological signal and not a publication artefact (Tennant, Mannion & Upchurch, 2016b).
