Mobility of the vertebral column is important for many ecological aspects of vertebrates,
especially in the cervical series, which connects the head to the main body. Thus, fusion …

The evolution of vertebral fusion is a poorly understood phenomenon that results in the loss
of mobility between sequential vertebrae. Non‐pathological fusion of the anterior cervical …

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS By using Protoceratops andrewsi as an intermediate, it
is possible to interpret the anatomy of the ceratopsid syncervical and establish homologies …

The anterior cervical vertebrae form the skeletal connection between the cranial and
postcranial skeletons in higher tetrapods. As a result, the morphology of the atlas-axis …

In neoceratopsian dinosaurs, the centra, neural arches, and neural spines of several
anteriormost cervical vertebrae are fused together to form a structure called the cervical bar …

DONALD M. HENDERSON the fossil record of ceratopsid dinosaurs demonstrates that
postcranially these animals were all quite similar, that centrosaurines and chasmosaurines …

Sauropod dinosaurs achieved the largest body sizes and the most elongate necks and tails
of any terrestrial vertebrate. The elongate, cantilevered necks of sauropods comprised …

Abstract The Early Cretaceous basal neoceratopsian dinosaur Auroraceratops rugosus was
described based on a single skull recovered from the Gonpoquan Basin in northwestern …

In 2008, a new basal neoceratopsian was discovered in the Tando beds (Albian) of Tando
Basin in South Korea. It represents the first ceratopsian dinosaur in the Korean peninsula …

Easily distinguished by the horns and frills on their skulls, ceratopsians were one of the most
successful of all dinosaurs. This volume presents a broad range of cutting-edge research on …
