Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and early evolution of dinosaurs
TL;DR: The oldest unequivocal records of Dinosauria were unearthed from Late Triassic rocks accumulated over extensional rift basins in southwestern Pangea, and the group achieved a nearly global distribution by the latest Triassic, especially with the radiation of saurischian groups such as “prosauropods” and coelophysoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogenetic relationships of basal archosauromorphs, with an emphasis on the systematics of proterosuchian archosauriforms
TL;DR: A new data matrix composed of 96 separate taxa and 600 osteological characters was assembled and analysed to generate a comprehensive higher-level phylogenetic hypothesis of basal Archosauromorphs and shed light on the species-level interrelationships of taxa historically identified as proterosuchian archosauriforms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of the carnivorous dinosaurs during the Cretaceous: The evidence from Patagonia
TL;DR: The most comprehensive fossil record of Cretaceous theropods from Gondwana, consisting of 31 nominal species belonging to singleton taxa and six families: Abelisauroids, Noasaurids, Carcharodontosauridae, Megaraptoridae nov. fam., Alvarezsaurusidae, and Unenlagiidae, is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Global Palaeobiogeographical Model for the Late Mesozoic and Early Tertiary
TL;DR: A new biogeographical model for late Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems is proposed in which Europe and "Gondwanan" territories possessed a common Eurogondwanans fauna during the earliest Cretaceous, and tree reconciliation analyses (TRAs) were performed based onBiogeographical signals provided by a supertree of late Meszoic archosaurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new early dinosaur (Saurischia: Sauropodomorpha) from the Late Triassic of Argentina: a reassessment of dinosaur origin and phylogeny
TL;DR: The new evidence presented here demonstrates that dinosaurs first appeared in the fossil record as a diverse group, although they were a numerically minor component of faunas in which they occur.
