Osteology of the unenlagiid theropod Neuquenraptor argentinus from the Late Cretaceous of Patagonia [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2017
Neuquenraptor argentinus was described as the first undoubted deinonychosaurian theropod from Gondwana. The only known specimen is represented by a fragmentary skeleton, including a nearly complete foot, coming from Late Cretaceous beds of Neuquén ...

Anatomía comparada de los terópodos paravianos Unenlagiidae y sus implicancias en el origen de las aves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Paraves es el clado de dinosaurios que cuenta con mayor número de especies, ya que por un lado agrupa a terópodos no-avianos extintos como Troodon y Velociraptor, y por otro lado a las aves, únicos dinosaurios vivientes (Avialae: Dinosauria, Gauthier 1986), donde se cuentan más de 11.000 especies.

A New Specimen ofAustroraptor cabazaiNovas, Pol, Canale, Porfiri and Calvo, 2008 (Dinosauria, Theropoda, Unenlagiidae) from the Latest Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of Río Negro, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yesAmeghiniana, 2012
There were considerable differences in Late Cretaceous faunas of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, although the differences were breaking down during Campanian and Maastrichtian times with the appearance of hadrosaurids in Antarctica and South America, and titanosaurids in North America.

Paravian Phylogeny and the Dinosaur-Bird Transition: An Overview [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Recent years witnessed the discovery of a great diversity of early birds as well as closely related non-avian theropods, which modified previous conceptions about the origin of birds and their flight. We here present a review of the taxonomic composition

Unenlagiid theropods: are they members of the Dromaeosauridae (Theropoda, Maniraptora)? [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2011
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 ...

Postcranial osteology of a new specimen of Buitreraptor gonzalezorum (Theropoda, Unenlagiidae)

open access: yesCretaceous Research, 2018
Abstract Buitreraptor gonzalezorum is a theropod dinosaur belonging to the clade Unenlagiidae. It is known by several specimens coming from the Upper Cretaceous of Northwestern Patagonia, Argentina. In spite of its completeness, only a preliminary description of its postcranial anatomy is available.

Postcranial skeletal anatomy of the holotype and referred specimens of Buitreraptor gonzalezorum Makovicky, Apesteguía and Agnolín 2005 (Theropoda, Dromaeosauridae), from the Late Cretaceous of Patagonia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Here we provide a detailed description of the postcranial skeleton of the holotype and referred specimens of Buitreraptor gonzalezorum. This taxon was recovered as an unenlagiine dromaeosaurid in several recent phylogenetic studies and is the best ...

Isolated theropod teeth associated with a sauropod skeleton from the Late Cretaceous Allen Formation of Río Negro, Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The discovery of theropod shed teeth associated with sauropod remains is relatively common in Cretaceous deposits of Patagonia. However, only a handful of studies have thoroughly explored the phylogenetic affinities of the theropod dental material. Here,

A large Megaraptoridae (Theropoda: Coelurosauria) from Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Megaraptora is a theropod clade known from former Gondwana landmasses and Asia. Most members of the clade are known from the Early to Late Cretaceous (Barremian–Santonian), with Maastrichtian megaraptorans known only from isolated and poorly informative ...
