The fossil record is the primary source of data used to study predator-prey interactions in
deep time and to evaluate key questions regarding the evolutionary and ecological …

There is a long tradition of indirectly inferring feeding in fossil and Recent vertebrates from
the functional morphology of bones and teeth. However, some trace fossils provide direct …

Abstract The Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) transition saw mass extinctions in terrestrial
and marine ecosystems. Terrestrial vertebrate diversity patterns across the K–Pg boundary …

Mosasaurids (Mosasauridae) were specialized marine lizards that evolved and radiated in
the Late Cretaceous. Their diversity peaked in the Maastrichtian, with the most diverse …

Clavate borings found in the tympanic bulla of a Miocene cetacean from El Camp de
Tarragona Basin constitute the first evidence of the ichnogenus Gastrochaenolites in bones …

Here we describe multiple pathological skeletal elements in a specimen assigned to a
globidensine mosasaur as Prognathodon cf. sectorius. This individual, NHMM 2012 072 …

Late Cretaceous hadrosaurs from southern Alberta, Canada provide the best preserved and
most numerous examples of dinosaurian osteopathy globally and are ideal for invasive or …

Although plesiosaurs and mosasaurs co-existed for about 35 million years at the end of the
Cretaceous, the fossil record documenting interactions between these two groups of marine …

The documented record of ichthyosaurian paleopathologies reveals an array of injury‐
related bone modifications and instances of disease evidenced through multiple clades …

Paleopathologies document skeletal damage in extinct organisms and can be used to infer
the causes of injury, as well as aspects of related biology, ecology and behavior. To date …
