Cranial osteology and palaeobiology of the Early Cretaceous bird Jeholornis prima (Aves: Jeholornithiformes) [PDF]
, 2022 Jeholornis is a representative of the earliest-diverging bird lineages, providing important evidence of anatomical transitions involved in bird origins. Although ~100 specimens have been reported, its cranial morphology remains poorly documented owing to

A survey of dinosaur diversity by clade, age, place of discovery and year of description [PDF]
, 2014 Dinosaur diversity is analyzed in terms of the number of valid genera within each major clade, Mesozoic age, place of discovery and year of description. Aves (Archaeopteryx + Neornithes) is excluded. Nomina nuda and nomina dubia are not counted.

The evolution of tail joint stiffness in oviraptorosaur dinosaurs and its consequences for tail fucntion [PDF]
, 2013 Poster Session 3: no. 36Oviraptorosaurs preserve distal tail fronds that are sometimes articulated with a fused pygostyle-like structure. This similarity with birds has led to speculation that they used their tails for display purposes, as in peacocks ...

Late Cretaceous continental and marine vertebrate assemblages of the Laño Quarry (Basque-Cantabrian Region, Iberian Peninsula): an update [PDF]
The vertebrate-bearing beds of the Laño quarry (Condado de Treviño) are among the most relevant sites from the Late Cretaceous of Europe. Geologically, Laño and the adjacent region are set on the southern limb of the South-Cantabrian Synclinorium (SE ...
