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.

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 ...

Limb-Bone Scaling Indicates Diverse Stance and Gait in Quadrupedal Ornithischian Dinosaurs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background The most primitive ornithischian dinosaurs were small bipeds, but quadrupedality evolved three times independently in the clade. The transition to quadrupedality from bipedal ancestors is rare in the history of terrestrial vertebrate ...

Rare juvenile material constrains estimation of skeletal allometry in Gryposaurus notabilis (Dinosauria: Hadrosauridae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 7, Page 1646-1668, July 2023., 2023
Abstract In studying the skeletal allometry of any vertebrate, it is important to sample the ontogenetic extremes to ensure the accuracy of parameter estimation; this is particularly true for fossil taxa, where sampling of ontogenetic series is incomplete and sporadic.

Pararhabdodon Isonensis and Tsintaosaurus Spinorhinus: A New Clade of Lambeosaurine Hadrosaurids from Eurasia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present new anatomical information showing that Koutalisaurus kohlerorum, from the Maastrichtian of Lleida Province, northeastern Spain, is most probably the junior synonym of Pararhabdodon isonensis from the same region.
