Journal of Morphology, 2009 AbstractThe furcula is a structure formed by the midline fusion of the clavicles. This is the element which is unique to theropods and is important for understanding the link between birds and other theropods. New specimens from basal theropods suggest that the furcula appeared very early in theropod history.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Bird-like anatomy, posture, and behavior revealed by an early jurassic theropod dinosaur resting trace. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BackgroundFossil tracks made by non-avian theropod dinosaurs commonly reflect the habitual bipedal stance retained in living birds. Only rarely-captured behaviors, such as crouching, might create impressions made by the hands.

Two new compsognathid-like theropods show diversified predation strategies in theropod dinosaurs. [PDF]
Natl Sci RevABSTRACT The Compsognathidae was originally considered an early-diverging clade of coelurosaur theropods. However, recent study suggests that Compsognathidae is not monophyletic. Here, we describe two new compsognathid-like species, Sinosauropteryx lingyuanensis sp. nov. and Huadanosaurus sinensis gen. et sp. nov.

New evidence of feathers in the Crato Formation supporting a reappraisal on the presence of Aves
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2011 The preservation of delicate structures such as feathers is very rare in the paleontological record, due to the fragility of their components. Fossil feathers have been reported from approximately 50 deposits around the world, from the Late Jurassic to ...

A methodology of theropod print replication utilising the pedal reconstruction of Australovenator and a simulated paleo-sediment [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Distinguishing the difference between theropod and ornithopod footprints has proved a difficult task due to their similarities. Herein our aim was to produce a method where a skeleton could be more closely matched to actual fossilised footprints.

Fast-running theropods tracks from the Early Cretaceous of La Rioja, Spain
Scientific Reports, 2021 Theropod behaviour and biodynamics are intriguing questions that paleontology has been trying to resolve for a long time. The lack of extant groups with similar bipedalism has made it hard to answer some of the questions on the matter, yet theoretical ...
