Relict duck-billed dinosaurs survived into the last age of the dinosaurs in subantarctic Chile
In the dusk of the Mesozoic, advanced duck-billed dinosaurs (Hadrosauridae) were so
successful that they likely outcompeted other herbivores, contributing to declines in dinosaur …

Diet of prosauropod dinosaurs from the late Triassic and early Jurassic
PM Galton - Lethaia, 1985 - Wiley Online Library
Prosauropods were not scavenger‐predators, rather they were the dominant large terrestrial

The diet of ostrich dinosaurs (Theropoda: Ornithomimosauria)
PM Barrett - Palaeontology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The diets of ornithomimosaurian dinosaurs (Theropoda: Ornithomimosauria) have proved to

A tiny ornithodiran archosaur from the Triassic of Madagascar and the role of miniaturization in dinosaur and pterosaur ancestry
Early members of the dinosaur–pterosaur clade Ornithodira are very rare in the fossil record,
obscuring our understanding of the origins of this important group. Here, we describe an …
