Piatnitzkysauridae were Jurassic theropods that represented the earliest diverging branch of
Megalosauroidea, being one of the earliest lineages to have evolved moderate body size …

Osteological correlates preserve more readily than their soft tissue counterparts in the fossil
record; therefore, they can more often provide insight into the soft tissue anatomy of the …

In this article, we develop a new reconstruction of the pelvic and hindlimb muscles of the
large theropod dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex. Our new reconstruction relies primarily on …

is a basal titanosaur from the early Late Cretaceous of central Patagonia, Argentina. Here,
we present the reconstruction of the pelvic and hindlimb musculature of this titanosaur …

The hindlimb musculature of the basal therizinosaur Falcarius utahensis is reconstructed
using observable muscle scars, information from extant birds and crocodylians, and current …

Caenagnathids were oviraptorosaur theropods characterized by elongate hind limbs that
are proposed as adaptations for either wading or enhanced cursoriality. A lack of well …

Soft tissues are variably preserved in the fossil record with external tissues, such as skin and
feathers, more frequently preserved than internal tissues (eg muscles). More commonly, soft …

Soft tissue reconstructions of fossil vertebrates provide valuable data and support for
functional interpretations. Here, we present the pelvic and hindlimb muscular reconstruction …

Therizinosaurs are highly modified, probably herbivorous, theropods from the Upper
Cretaceous of Asia and North America. They are characterized by an extensively …

Dinosaur locomotion and biomechanics, especially of their pelvic girdles and hindlimbs,
have been analyzed in numerous studies. However, detailed volumetric musculoskeletal …
