PLoS ONE, 2022 In this study, we use an exceptional skeleton of the pachycephalosaur Stegoceras validum (UALVP 2) to inform a comprehensive appendicular muscle reconstruction of the animal, with the goal of better understanding the functional morphology of the ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 643-664, September/October 2025.Abstract Ornithopods are an extinct group of dinosaurs that were particularly abundant and diverse in the Cretaceous of the Iberian Peninsula, and whose abundance in the Maestrazgo Basin has allowed numerous taxa to be identified over the last decade. Many of these fossil remains are still taxonomically indeterminate and require a more detailed study ...

Digital reconstruction of the mandible of an adult Lesothosaurus diagnosticus with insight into the tooth replacement process and diet [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Fragmentary caudal ends of the left and right mandible assigned to Lesothosaurus diagnosticus, an early ornithischian, was recently discovered in the continental red bed succession of the upper Elliot Formation (Lower Jurassic) at Likhoele Mountain ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 790-818, September/October 2025.A combined approach of osteology and histology was used to examine the cheek regions of dinosaurs. Strong evidence was found for a soft tissue in this region connecting the zygoma to the mandible, here named the ‘exoparia’. Abstract Unlike mammals, reptiles typically lack large muscles and ligaments that connect the zygoma to the mandible.

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 4, July/August 2025.Abstract The Wealden Group of southern England was deposited during the late Berriasian to early Aptian interval. It records a critical time in the development of iguanodontian dinosaur diversity, which increased from low levels during the Jurassic to higher levels in the Aptian and Albian. A new iguanodontian dinosaur, Istiorachis macarthurae gen.

Body size distribution of the dinosaurs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The distribution of species body size is critically important for determining resource use within a group or clade. It is widely known that non-avian dinosaurs were the largest creatures to roam the Earth.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 12, Page 3685-3716, December 2024.Abstract Recent years have seen increasing scientific interest in whether neuron counts can act as correlates of diverse biological phenomena. Lately, Herculano‐Houzel (2023) argued that fossil endocasts and comparative neurological data from extant sauropsids allow to reconstruct telencephalic neuron counts in Mesozoic dinosaurs and pterosaurs, which ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 12, Page 3717-3781, December 2024.Abstract Thescelosaurines are a group of early diverging, ornithischian dinosaurs notable for their conservative bauplans and mosaic of primitive features. Although abundant within the latest Cretaceous ecosystems of North America, their record is poor to absent in earlier assemblages, leaving a large gap in our understanding of their evolution ...
