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

, 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).

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

An exceptionally preserved armored dinosaur reveals the morphology and allometry of osteoderms and their horny epidermal coverings [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Although the evolution and function of “exaggerated” bony projections in ornithischian dinosaurs has been subject to significant debate recently, our understanding of the structure and morphology of their epidermal keratinized coverings is greatly ...

Jaw Mechanics in Basal Ceratopsia (Ornithischia, Dinosauria) [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2009 AbstractCeratopsian dinosaurs were a dominant group of herbivores in Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems. We hypothesize that an understanding of the feeding system will provide important insight into the evolutionary success of these animals. The mandibular mechanics of eight genera of basal ceratopsians was examined to understand the variability in ...

Dental microwear reveals mammal-like chewing in the neoceratopsian dinosaur Leptoceratops gracilis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Extensive oral processing of food through dental occlusion and orbital mandibular movement is often cited as a uniquely mammalian trait that contributed to their evolutionary success.

Appendicular skeleton of Protoceratops andrewsi (Dinosauria, Ornithischia): comparative morphology, ontogenetic changes, and the implications for non-ceratopsid ceratopsian locomotion [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Protoceratops andrewsi is a well-known ceratopsian dinosaur from the Djadokhta Formation (Upper Cretaceous, Mongolia). Since the 1920s, numerous skeletons of different ontogenetic stages from hatchlings to adults, including fully articulated specimens ...
