New mid-cervical vertebral morphotype of Spinosauridae from the Kem Kem Group of Morocco
Vertebrate Anatomy, Morphology, Palaeontology, 2021 An unusual mid-cervical vertebra belonging to a large spinosaurid from the Cenomanian Kem Kem Group of Morocco is described. It is compared to the characteristic morphology of each reconstructed cervical position in Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, based on a ...

Inside a duck-billed dinosaur: Vertebral bone microstructure of Huallasaurus (Hadrosauridae), Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent

A newly recognized theropod assemblage from the Lewisville Formation (Woodbine Group; Cenomanian) and its implications for understanding Late Cretaceous Appalachian terrestrial ecosystems [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 While the terrestrial fossil record of the mid-Cretaceous interval (Aptian to Cenomanian) in North America has been poorly studied, the recent focus on fossil localities from the western United States has offered a more detailed picture of vertebrate ...

Assesment and interpretation of negative forelimb allometry in the evolution of non-avian Theropoda
Frontiers in Zoology, 2019 Background The origin of birds is marked by a significant decrease in body size along with an increase in relative forelimb size. However, before the evolution of flight, both traits may have already been related: It has been proposed that an ...
