Theropod dinosaur facial reconstruction and the importance of soft tissues in paleobiology

Thomas M. Cullen et al.

Summary: Large theropod dinosaurs were believed to have their teeth exposed, but this study suggests that their teeth were most likely covered with extraoral tissue when the mouth was closed, similar to living ziphodont amniotes. The findings change our understanding of their appearance and oral configuration, and have implications for the interpretation of other terrestrial animals with large teeth.

On the first dinosaur tooth reported from Australia (Theropoda: Megaraptoridae)

Jake Kotevski et al.

Summary: The first published report of a dinosaur tooth in Australia was made in 1910, but it was never formally described. This study describes the opalized theropod tooth found in Lightning Ridge and suggests it belongs to the Megaraptoridae family. This finding highlights the importance of megaraptorids in the mid-Cretaceous fauna of eastern Australia.

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

Alexis M. Aranciaga Rolando et al.

Summary: This study describes a partial skeleton of a megaraptorid from the Maastrichtian beds in Argentina, which is the most informative megaraptoran known from this time period and is identified as a new taxon. Phylogenetic analysis shows that South American megaraptorans form a monophyletic clade, while Australian and Asian members are stem groups. South American megaraptorans differ from more basal forms in several anatomical features and are larger and more robustly built.

The osteology and affinities of Eotyrannus lengi, a tyrannosauroid theropod from the Wealden Supergroup of southern England

Darren Naish et al.

Summary: The paper describes and analyzes the characteristics of Eotyrannus lengi, a dinosaur found in the Wessex Formation. It is determined to be an intermediate member of the Tyrannosauroidea group, between Proceratosauridae and Yutyrannus, and within the Glade that includes Xiongguanlong, Megaraptora, Dryptosaurus, and Tyrannosauridae. The study increases the understanding of Cretaceous tyrannosauroid diversity and disparity.

Age, depositional history, and paleoclimatic setting of Early Cretaceous dinosaur assemblages from the Sao Khua Formation (Khorat Group), Thailand

Ryan T. Tucker et al.

Summary: We described the sedimentology, geochronology, and geochemistry of the Early Cretaceus Sao Khua Formation in the Khorat Basin, northeastern Thailand, and adjusted the temporal range for its dinosaurian assemblage. Our findings suggest that the formation was deposited in a floodplain environment during the late Valanginian to early Hauterivian. Furthermore, the entombed dinosaur biota in this formation is significantly older than previously recognized, making it one of the oldest known globally for these dinosaur groups.

Elemgasem nubilus: a new brachyrostran abelisaurid (Theropoda, Ceratosauria) from the Portezuelo Formation (Upper Cretaceous) of Patagonia, Argentina

Mattia A. Baiano et al.

Summary: This study describes a new abelisaurid dinosaur, Elemgasem nubilus, from the Portezuelo Formation in Patagonia, Argentina. It possesses unique features such as marked rugosity on the lateral surface of the fibula and a dorsoventrally deep lateral wall of the calcaneum. This discovery is important because it adds to the diversity of theropod dinosaurs in the Turonian-Coniacian interval and provides insights into the tetrapod fauna during a period of climate change and mass extinction events.

M. A. Cerroni et al.

Summary: The study on the skull of Carnotaurus provides new insights into its unique features and shared characteristics with other abelisauroids. CT scans revealed similar pneumatic recesses in the skull of Carnotaurus as in other theropods, raising questions about cranial pneumaticity variability among ceratosaurs.

THE CRANIAL ANATOMY OF THE LONG-SNOUTED TYRANNOSAURID DINOSAUR QIANZHOUSAURUS SINENSIS FROM THE UPPER CRETACEOUS OF CHINA

William Foster et al.

Summary: Tyrannosaurid theropods were the top predators on land in North America and Asia during the late Cretaceous period. This study provides a detailed description of the cranial features of the largest alioramin, Qianzhousaurus sinensis, and proposes that the skull morphology indicates different prey choice and feeding style compared to deep-skulled tyrannosaurids.
