Journal ArticleDOI
Predatory Dinosaur Remains from Madagascar: Implications for the Cretaceous Biogeography of Gondwana
Scott D. Sampson,Lawrence M. Witmer,Catherine A. Forster,David W. Krause,Patrick M. O'Connor,Peter Dodson,Florent Ravoavy +6 more
TL;DR: One specimen includes a nearly complete and exquisitely preserved skull with thickened pneumatic nasals, a median frontal horn, and a dorsal projection on the parietals of Abelisauridae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Theropod Ancestry of Birds: New Evidence from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar
Catherine A. Forster,Scott D. Sampson,Scott D. Sampson,Scott D. Sampson,Luis M. Chiappe,Luis M. Chiappe,Luis M. Chiappe,David W. Krause,David W. Krause,David W. Krause +9 more
TL;DR: Rahona has a robust, hyperextendible second digit on the hind foot that terminates in a sicklelike claw, a unique characteristic of the theropod groups Troodontidae and Dromaeosauridae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ischigualasto Tetrapod Assemblage (Late Triassic, Argentina) and 40Ar/39Ar Dating of Dinosaur Origins
Raymond R. Rogers,Carl C. Swisher,Paul C. Sereno,Alfredo M. Monetta,Catherine A. Forster,Ricardo Martinez +5 more
TL;DR: Dating of sanidine from a bentonite interbedded in the Ischigualasto Formation of northwestern Argentina yielded a plateau age of 227.8 � 0.3 million years ago, diminishing the magnitude of the proposed late Carnian tetrapod extinction event.
Journal ArticleDOI
The osteology of masiakasaurus knopfleri, a small abelisauroid (dinosauria: theropoda) from the late cretaceous of madagascar
TL;DR: The osteology of the new small theropod dinosaur Masiakasaurus knopfleri, from the Late Cretaceous Maevarano Formation of northwestern Madagascar, suggests that these taxa form a clade (Noasauridae) within Abelisauroidea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primitive dinosaur skeleton from Argentina and the early evolution of Dinosauria
TL;DR: The discovery of Eoraptor supports the hypothesis that dinosaurs diverged rapidly at small body size from a common ancestor, with the principal herbivorous and carnivorous lineages present by the middle Carnian.
