Theropod dinosaur diversity of the lower English Wealden: analysis of a tooth‐based fauna from the Wadhurst Clay Formation (Lower Cretaceous: Valanginian) via phylogenetic, discriminant and machine learning methods

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract The Lower Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup of southern England yields a diverse assemblage of theropod dinosaurs, its taxa being represented by fragments in addition to some of the most informative associated skeletons of the European Mesozoic. Spinosaurids, neovenatorid allosauroids, tyrannosauroids and dromaeosaurids are among reported Wealden ...

The vertebrate fauna from the stipite layers of the Grands Causses (Middle Jurassic, France)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
The stipites are Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) coals that formed in an everglades-like environment and are now exposed in the Grands Causses (southern France).

Redescription and affinities of Hulsanpes perlei (Dinosauria, Theropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Hulsanpes perlei is an enigmatic theropod dinosaur from the Baruungoyot Formation (?mid- to upper Campanian, Upper Cretaceous) of Mongolia. It was discovered in 1970, during the third Polish-Mongolian paleontological expedition to the Nemegt Basin.

Cautionary tales on the use of proxies to estimate body size and form of extinct animals

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Reconstructing the body size and form of extinct animals is of vital importance to our understanding of macroevolution and palaeontology. This is often done using anatomical proxies where extinct species are known only from fragmentary remains. However, there are many limitations influencing the selection of proxy taxa that are frequently overlooked ...

Note on the paleobiogeography of Compsognathidae (Dinosauria: Theropoda) and its paleoecological implications [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2014
The paleobiogeography of the theropod clade Compsognathidae is here reaccessed in order to test the hypothesis of this taxon being adapted specifically to inhabit semi-arid environments. Data about localities where these fossils were collected and their paleoenvironments were gathered from the literature.

A new abelisaurid dinosaur from the end Cretaceous of Patagonia and evolutionary rates among the Ceratosauria

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 307-356, June 2024.
Abstract Gondwanan dinosaur faunae during the 20 Myr preceding the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K/Pg) extinction included several lineages that were absent or poorly represented in Laurasian landmasses. Among these, the South American fossil record contains diverse abelisaurids, arguably the most successful groups of carnivorous dinosaurs from Gondwana in ...

The osteology of Shuvosaurus inexpectatus, a shuvosaurid pseudosuchian from the Upper Triassic Post Quarry, Dockum Group of Texas, USA

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 1175-1238, April 2024.
Abstract A vast array of pseudosuchian body plans evolved during the diversification of the group in the Triassic Period, but few can compare to the toothless, long‐necked, and bipedal shuvosaurids. Members of this clade possess theropod‐like character states mapped on top of more plesiomorphic pseudosuchian character states, complicating our ...
