Theropod guild structure and the tyrannosaurid niche assimilation hypothesis: implications for predatory dinosaur macroecology and ontogeny in later Late Cretaceous Asiamerica. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Well-sampled dinosaur communities from the Jurassic through the early Late Cretaceous show greater taxonomic diversity among larger (>50 kg) theropod taxa than communities of the Campano-Maastrichtian, particularly to those of eastern/central Asia and ...

Phylogeny of Allosauroidea (Dinosauria:Theropoda): Comparative analysis and resolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Allosauroidea, a clade of large-bodied theropod dinosaurs that ranged from the Middle Jurassic until the Late Cretaceous, has been the subject of extensive phylogenetic study.

Testing the persistence of Carcharodontosauridae (Theropoda) in the Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia based on dental evidence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The deposits corresponding to the Upper Cretaceous Neuquén and San Jorge Gulf basins from northern and central Patagonia have provided two of the most complete sequences of terrestrial vertebrate faunas of all Gondwanan landmasses.

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

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 ...

Observations on the skull of the type specimen of Tyrannosaurus rex Osborn, 1905

open access: yesAll Earth
The skull bones of the type specimen of Tyrannosaurus rex have been undescribed since the early 20th Century. The objectives were to provide a description of the type skull, assess the homology of characters seen in adults and juveniles, and test the ...

Dientes de terópodos del Cretácico Superior del Estado de Coahuila, México

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2017
En México, los terópodos son un grupo de dinosaurios poco conocido, el escaso material descrito ha sido referido solamente a nivel de “familia”. Como resultado de la investigación paleontológica realizada en el Estado de Coahuila, se recuperó material ...
