Tetanuran theropods represent the majority of Mesozoic predatory dinosaur diversity and
the lineage leading to extant Aves. Thus their history is relevant to understanding the …

Recent discoveries and analyses have drawn increased attention to Ceratosauria, a
taxonomically and morphologically diverse group of basal theropods. By the time of its first …

The aim of this research is to understand the tectonic setting of the Bauru Basin. This basin
in central-eastern South America has been classified as intracratonic, but the basin-fill …

Shed teeth are usually the most abundant theropod material on a dinosaur fossil site and
are constantly reported in the literature. Although new quantitative techniques have …

Abstract The South American fossil record of abelisaurids (Ceratosauria: Abelisauridae)
theropods is relatively abundant and diverse in Cretaceous rocks, particularly in Brazil and …

Isolated small theropod teeth are abundant in vertebrate microfossil assemblages, and are
frequently used in studies of species diversity in ancient ecosystems. However, determining …

Dinosaur fossils are commonly found in Brazilian Mesozoic strata, with teeth being
frequently found in Cretaceous outcrops. Many studies have been made with the aim of …

We use newly compiled data on global occurrences of Cretaceous lepidosaurs, mammals
and crocodylomorphs, and existing data on dinosaurs, to investigate faunal turnover and …

Background Baurusuchidae is a group of extinct Crocodyliformes with peculiar, dog-faced
skulls, hypertrophied canines, and terrestrial, cursorial limb morphologies. Their importance …

The record of dinosaur body-fossils in the Brazilian Mesozoic is restricted to the Triassic of
Rio Grande do Sul and Cretaceous of various parts of the country. This includes 21 named …
