The dentition of tyrannosauroid theropods: a review
Tyrannosauroidea is a clade of early-diverging carnivorous coelurosaur theropods known from the Middle Jurassic to Late Cretaceous that includes the eponymous Tyrannosaurus rex and its closest relatives. One of the most notable diagnostic features of the

The osteology of Shaochilong maortuensis, a carcharodontosaurid (dinosauria:theropoda) from the Late Cretaceous of Asia [PDF]
Large-bodied theropod dinosaurs from the Early-mid Cretaceous of the northern continents (Laurasia) are poorly known. One of the most complete and intriguing theropods from this interval is Shaochilong maortuensis Hu, 1964 from the Turonian (<92 Ma ...

Abstract There is a growing consensus that pterosaurs and the flightless Lagerpetidae are closely related. This relationship is supported by apomorphies throughout the skeleton, including endocranial character states such as a well‐developed floccular fossa and a tall anterior semicircular canal. Our knowledge of lagerpetid anatomy has been improved by

Basal paravian functional anatomy illuminated by high-detail body outline [PDF]
Body shape is a fundamental expression of organismal biology, but its quantitative reconstruction in fossil vertebrates is rare. Due to the absence of fossilized soft tissue evidence, the functional consequences of basal paravian body shape and its ...

Unenlagiid theropods: are they members of the Dromaeosauridae (Theropoda, Maniraptora)?
In the present paper we analyze the phylogenetic position of the derived Gondwanan theropod clade Unenlagiidae. Although this group has been frequently considered as deeply nested within Deinonychosauria and Dromaeosauridae, most of the features ...
