Subsequently their age was reconsidered as early Maasrichtian, and were thus regarded of lesser importance in understanding the K-PG boundary events in Europe and worldwide. Moreover, Transylvanian continental vertebrate assemblages (the so-called 'Hateg Island' faunas )were often lumped together as a temporally restriced assemblage with a homogenous taxonomic composition. Recent fossil discoveries and more precise dating techniques have considerably expanded knowledge of the Transylvanian vertebrate assemblages, their ages, and their evolution. A Synthesis of the avilable stratigraphic data allows development of the first comprehensive chronostratigraphic framework of the latest Cretaceous Transylvanian vertebrates. According to these new data, expansion of continental habitats and emergence of their vertebrate faunas started locally during the latter part of the late Campanian, and these faunas continued up to the second half of the Maastrichtian. During this time, long-term faunal stasis appears to have characterized the Transylvanian vertebrate assemblages, which is different from the striking turnovers recorded in western Europe during the same time interval. This suggests that there was no single 'Europe-wide' pattern of latest Cretaceous continental vertebrate evolution. Together, the available data shows that dinosaurs and other vertebrates were relatively abundant and diverse until at least ca. 1 million years before the K-Pg boundary, and is therefore consistent with the hypothesis of a sudden extinction, altough this must be tested with future discoveries and better age constraints and correlations.}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1095-998X}, pages = {662-698} } @article{MTMT:3165393, title = {A toothed turtle from the Late Jurassic of China and the global biogeographic history of turtles}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3165393}, author = {Joyce, WG and Rabi, Márton and Clark, JM and Xu, X}, doi = {10.1186/s12862-016-0762-5}, journal-iso = {BMC EVOL BIOL}, journal = {BMC EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY}, volume = {16}, unique-id = {3165393}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1471-2148} } @article{MTMT:2782588, title = {Taphonomic and paleoecologic investigations of the Late Cretaceous (Santonian) Iharkút vertebrate assemblage (Bakony Mts, Northwestern Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2782588}, author = {Botfalvai, Gábor and Ősi, Attila and Mindszenty, Andrea}, doi = {10.1016/j.palaeo.2014.09.032}, journal-iso = {PALAEOGEOGR PALAEOCL}, journal = {PALAEOGEOGRAPHY PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY PALAEOECOLOGY}, volume = {417}, unique-id = {2782588}, issn = {0031-0182}, year = {2015}, eissn = {1872-616X}, pages = {379-405}, orcid-numbers = {Botfalvai, Gábor/0000-0002-5479-9036; Ősi, Attila/0000-0003-2967-997X; Mindszenty, Andrea/0000-0001-8927-3053} } @article{MTMT:2782593, title = {Island life in the Cretaceous - faunal composition, biogeography, evolution, and extinction of land-living vertebrates on the Late Cretaceous European archipelago}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2782593}, author = {Csiki-Sava, Z and Buffetaut, E and Ősi, Attila and Pereda-Suberbiola, X and Brusatte, SL}, doi = {10.3897/zookeys.469.8439}, journal-iso = {ZOOKEYS}, journal = {ZOOKEYS}, volume = {469}, unique-id = {2782593}, issn = {1313-2989}, year = {2015}, eissn = {1313-2970}, pages = {1-161}, orcid-numbers = {Ősi, Attila/0000-0003-2967-997X} } @article{MTMT:2596650, title = {Cranial morphology of Theriosuchus sympiestodon (Mesoeucrocodylia, Atoposauridae) and the widespread occurrence of Theriosuchus in the Late Cretaceous of Europe}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2596650}, author = {Martin, JE and Rabi, Márton and Csiki-Sava, Z and Vasile, Ş}, doi = {10.1666/13-106}, journal-iso = {J PALEONTOL}, journal = {JOURNAL OF PALEONTOLOGY}, volume = {88}, unique-id = {2596650}, issn = {0022-3360}, year = {2014}, eissn = {1937-2337}, pages = {444-456} } @article{MTMT:2521083, title = {New ankylosaurian material from the Upper Cretaceous of Transylvania}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2521083}, author = {Ősi, Attila and Codera, V and Prondvai, Edina and Csiki-Sava, Z}, doi = {10.1016/j.annpal.2014.02.001}, journal-iso = {ANN PALEONTOL}, journal = {ANNALES DE PALEONTOLOGIE}, volume = {100}, unique-id = {2521083}, issn = {0753-3969}, year = {2014}, eissn = {1778-3666}, pages = {257-271}, orcid-numbers = {Ősi, Attila/0000-0003-2967-997X} } @article{MTMT:2069911, title = {Phylogeny, Histology and Inferred Body Size Evolution in a New Rhabdodontid Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2069911}, author = {Ősi, Attila and Prondvai, Edina and Butler, R and Weishampel, DB}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0044318}, journal-iso = {PLOS ONE}, journal = {PLOS ONE}, volume = {7}, unique-id = {2069911}, issn = {1932-6203}, abstract = {Background: Rhabdodontid ornithopod dinosaurs are characteristic elements of Late Cretaceous European vertebrate faunas and were previously collected from lower Campanian to Maastrichtian continental deposits. Phylogenetic analyses have placed rhabdodontids among basal ornithopods as the sister taxon to the clade consisting of Tenontosaurus, Dryosaurus, Camptosaurus, and Iguanodon. Recent studies considered Zalmoxes, the best known representative of the clade, to be significantly smaller than closely related ornithopods such as Tenontosaurus, Camptosaurus, or Rhabdodon, and concluded that it was probably an island dwarf that inhabited the Maastrichtian Hat¸eg Island. Methodology/Principal Findings: Rhabdodontid remains from the Santonian of western Hungary provide evidence for a new, small-bodied form, which we assign to Mochlodon vorosi n. sp. The new species is most similar to the early Campanian M. suessi from Austria, and the close affinities of the two species is further supported by the results of a global phylogenetic analysis of ornithischian dinosaurs. Bone histological studies of representatives of all rhabdodontids indicate a similar adult body length of 1.6–1.8 m in the Hungarian and Austrian species, 2.4–2.5 m in the subadults of both Zalmoxes robustus and Z. shqiperorum and a much larger, 5–6 m adult body length in Rhabdodon. Phylogenetic mapping of femoral lengths onto the results of the phylogenetic analysis suggests a femoral length of around 340 mm as the ancestral state for Rhabdodontidae, close to the adult femoral lengths known for Zalmoxes (320–333 mm). Conclusions/Significance: Our analysis of body size evolution does not support the hypothesis of autapomorhic nanism for Zalmoxes. However, Rhabdodon is reconstructed as having undergone autapomorphic giantism and the reconstructed small femoral length (245 mm) of Mochlodon is consistent with a reduction in size relative to the ancestral rhabdodontid condition. Our results imply a pre-Santonian divergence between western and eastern rhabdodontid lineages within the western Tethyan archipelago.}, year = {2012}, eissn = {1932-6203}, orcid-numbers = {Ősi, Attila/0000-0003-2967-997X} } @inbook{MTMT:1464155, title = {The Late Cretaceous continental vertebrate fauna from Iharkút, western Hungary: a review}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1464155}, author = {Ősi, Attila and Makádi, László and Rabi, Márton and Szentesi, Zoltán and Botfalvai, Gábor and Gulyás, P}, booktitle = {Bernissart Dinosaurs and Early Cretaceous Terrestrial Ecosystems}, unique-id = {1464155}, year = {2012}, pages = {533-570}, orcid-numbers = {Ősi, Attila/0000-0003-2967-997X; Szentesi, Zoltán/0000-0002-7019-5478; Botfalvai, Gábor/0000-0002-5479-9036} }
