An osteohistological analysis of Triceratops (Ornithischia: Ceratopsidae) cranial ornamentation

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ceratopsids are among the most distinctive and well known extinct Cretaceous vertebrates, yet many details regarding the growth and composition of their cranial features are still not fully anatomically described or understood. In particular, striking cranial adornments such as the postorbital horns and parietal‐squamosal frill of Triceratops ...

A new taxon of saurischian dinosaur from the Coelophysis Quarry of New Mexico, USA (Triassic: latest Norian or Rhaetian) highlights herrerasaurian diversity in the latest Triassic

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract The most complete record of the earliest dinosaur lineages is from the Carnian from the higher latitudes of Pangea (e.g. present‐day Brazil, Argentina), but dinosaurian assemblages from the upper stages of the Upper Triassic are better known from the low latitudes of Pangea (present day southwestern USA).

Braincase anatomy and palaeoneurology of Venetoraptor gassenae, a lagerpetid pterosauromorph from the Late Triassic of southern Brazil

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, 2026.
Abstract There is a growing consensus that pterosaurs and the flightless Lagerpetidae are closely related. This relationship is supported by apomorphies throughout the skeleton, including endocranial character states such as a well‐developed floccular fossa and a tall anterior semicircular canal. Our knowledge of lagerpetid anatomy has been improved by

The early origin of Iguanodontia: new insights into the macroevolution, diversity and biogeography of the clade

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, 2026.
Abstract Iguanodontia (Dinosauria, Ornithischia) is a speciose group of herbivorous dinosaurs that include the famous genus Iguanodon, one of foundational members of the clade Dinosauria. Despite their very long history of research, several aspects of their systematic relationships and their evolutionary history remain somewhat nebulous.

The effects of the spreading of the Central Atlantic during the Middle Jurassic on dinosaur faunas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The spreading of the Central Atlantic is a complex series of events that include a ridge jump to the east and a ridge jump to the west at c. 170Ma and c. 162Ma respectively.

Insight on the anatomy, systematic relationships, and age of the Early Cretaceous ankylopollexian dinosaur Dakotadon lakotaensis [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
Knowledge regarding the early evolution within the dinosaurian clade Ankylopollexia drastically increased over the past two decades, in part because of an increase in described taxa from the Early Cretaceous of North America. These advances motivated the

Intraskeletal histovariability and skeletochronology in an ornithopod dinosaur from the Maestrazgo Basin (Teruel, Spain)

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
