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.

The postcranial skeleton of Monolophosaurus jiangi (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Middle Jurassic of Xinjiang, China, and a review of Middle Jurassic Chinese theropods [PDF]
, 2010 The Middle Jurassic was a critical time in the evolution of theropod dinosaurs, highlighted by the origination and radiation of the large-bodied and morphologically diverse Tetanurae.

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 record of Abelisauroid Theropods from the Bauru group (upper cretaceous), São Paulo State, Brazil [PDF]
, 2014 Isolated bones of abelisauroid theropods from the Bauru Group (Late Cretaceous, Brazil), are described. They correspond to three individuals represented by fused ischia and part of the ilium, a partial axis, and a right fi bula, respectively. The fossils

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 ...

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.

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.
