Morphology and distribution of scales, dermal ossifications, and other non‐feather integumentary structures in non‐avialan theropod dinosaurs
Modern birds are typified by the presence of feathers, complex evolutionary innovations that
were already widespread in the group of theropod dinosaurs (Maniraptoriformes) that …

Locomotion in ornithischian dinosaurs: an assessment using three‐dimensional computational modelling
Ornithischian dinosaurs were primitively bipedal with forelimbs modified for grasping, but
quadrupedalism evolved in the clade on at least three occasions independently. Outside of …

Formation and taphonomy of human footprints in microbial mats of present-day tidal-flat environments: implications for the study of fossil footprints
D Marty, A Strasser, CA Meyer - Ichnos, 2009 - Taylor & Francis
This study concerns the formation, taphonomy, and preservation of human footprints in
microbial mats of present-day tidal-flat environments. Due to differences in water content …

Neither bones nor feet: track morphological variation and 'preservation quality'
SM Gatesy, PL Falkingham - Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
As purely sedimentary structures, fossil footprints are all about shape. Correctly interpreting
the significance of their surface topography requires understanding the sources of …

Interpreting ecology and behaviour from the vertebrate fossil track record
PL Falkingham - Journal of Zoology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Fossil tracks represent a direct window onto the lives of extinct organisms, being formed and
preserved in situ. Because track morphology is determined by limb motion, foot anatomy and …

The 'Goldilocks' effect: preservation bias in vertebrate track assemblages
PL Falkingham, KT Bates… - Journal of the Royal …, 2011 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Finite-element analysis was used to investigate the extent of bias in the ichnological fossil
record attributable to body mass. Virtual tracks were simulated for four dinosaur taxa of …

[HTML][HTML] Dorsal rib histology of dinosaurs and a crocodylomorph from western Portugal: skeletochronological implications on age determination and life history traits
K Waskow, O Mateus - Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2017 - Elsevier
Bone histology is an important tool for uncovering life history traits of extinct animals,
particularly those that lack modern analogs, such as the non-avian dinosaurs. In most …
