Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2021 AbstractProa valdearinnoensis is a relatively large‐headed and stocky iguanodontian dinosaur from the latest Early Cretaceous of Spain. Its braincase is known from three specimens. Similar to that of other dinosaurs, it shows a mosaic ossification pattern in which most of the bones seem to have fused together indistinguishably while a few ...

Does postcranial palaeoneurology provide insight into pterosaur behaviour and lifestyle? New data from the azhdarchoid Vectidraco and the ornithocheirids Coloborhynchus and Anhanguera [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2018 AbstractThe postcranial palaeoneurology of fossil reptiles is understudied, and those studies that exist focus predominantly on crocodyliforms and dinosaurs. The intervertebral foramina of the spine house nerves that exit to innervate surrounding tissues and the extremities.

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 ...

, 2023 The Early Cretaceous deposits of the Wealden Supergroup (upper Berriasian–lower Aptian) of southern England and the Isle of Wight are an internationally important source of dinosaur material, however theropod remains are generally rare. The aim of this thesis is to describe and interpret theropod specimens – some recently discovered – from southern ...
