    Neuroanatomy of the spinosaurid Irritator challengeri (Dinosauria: Theropoda) indicates potential adaptations for piscivory

    Schade, Marco ; Rauhut, Oliver W. M. ; Evers, Serjoscha W.

    In: Scientific Reports, 2020, vol. 10, no. 1, p. 9259

    Spinosauridae, a theropod group characterized by elongated snouts, conical teeth, enlarged forelimbs, and often elongated neural spines, show evidence for semiaquatic adaptations and piscivory. It is currently debated if these animals represent terrestrial carnivores with adaptations for a piscivorous diet, or if they largely lived and foraged in aquatic habitats. The holotype of Irritator...

    New insights into the lifestyle of Allosaurus (Dinosauria: Theropoda) based on another specimen with multiple pathologies

    Foth​, Christian ; Evers, Serjoscha W. ; Pabst, Ben ; Mateus, Octávio ; Flisch, Alexander ; Patthey, Mike ; Rauhut, Oliver W.M.

    In: PeerJ, 2015, vol. 3, p. e940

    Adult large-bodied theropods are often found with numerous pathologies. A large, almost complete, probably adult Allosaurus specimen from the Howe Stephens Quarry, Morrison Formation (Late Kimmeridgian–Early Tithonian), Wyoming, exhibits multiple pathologies. Pathologic bones include the left dentary, two cervical vertebrae, one cervical and several dorsal ribs, the left scapula, the left...
