The braincase region of tyrannosaurs was investigated to provide insights on anatomical
attributes relevant to inferences of sensory biology and behavior. CT scanning focused on …

The evolution of whole-body endothermy occurred independently in dinosaurs and
mammals and was associated with some of the most significant neurocognitive shifts in life's …

Fossils of the Early Cretaceous dinosaur, Nigersaurus taqueti, document for the first time the
cranial anatomy of a rebbachisaurid sauropod. Its extreme adaptations for herbivory at …

During fossilization, the remains of extinct organisms are subjected to taphonomic and
diagenetic processes. As a result, fossils show a variety of preservational artefacts, which …

The paranasal air sinuses and nasal cavities were studied along with other cephalic spaces
(brain cavity, paratympanic sinuses) in certain dinosaurs via CT scanning and 3D …

Inferences of hearing capabilities and audition-related behaviours in extinct reptiles and
birds have previously been based on comparing cochlear duct dimensions with those of …

The rapidly expanding interest in, and availability of, digital tomography data to visualize
casts of the vertebrate endocranial cavity housing the brain (endocasts) presents new …

We describe Sarmientosaurus musacchioi gen. et sp. nov., a titanosaurian sauropod
dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian—Turonian) Lower Member of the Bajo …

ABSTRACT'Virtual palaeontology', the study of fossils through the medium of digital models,
is an increasingly important palaeontological technique. The vast majority of such work is …

Background Dakosaurus and Plesiosuchus are characteristic genera of aquatic, large-
bodied, macrophagous metriorhynchid crocodylomorphs. Recent studies show that these …
