With the use of micro-computed tomography (mu CT) scanning technology, we examine and discuss various types of dermal cranial ornamentation in extant Pyxicephalus, the closest extant relative of Thaumastosaurus, in which these features are useful in species diagnoses, paying particular attention to the individual and ontogenetic variation, and sexual dimorphism, as well as interspecific variation among extant species. We suggest that various types of dermal cranial ornamentation in Thaumastosaurus could be potentially used in diagnoses at species level, although ontogenetic variation should be taken into consideration. Apart from ornamentation, the size and general morphology of the maxillae and squamosa in Thaumastosaurus reveal an unexpected disparity of morphotypes, which suggests the potential presence of cryptic taxa. Some squamosa reveal that their processus zygomaticus extended up to the postnasal wall, so their associated maxillae were excluded from the orbital margin, whereas others were short and their respective maxillae participated in the formation of the orbital margin. Thaumastosaurus is envisaged as the product of an Early Palaeogene direct, potentially overseas, dispersal from isolated Afro-Arabia to Europe.}, keywords = {EVOLUTION; Anura; taxonomy; Tertiary; Paleogene; Ranidae; Eocene; Amphibia; SKELETAL DEVELOPMENT; OSTEOLOGY; cranial osteology; Thaumastosaurus; Pyxicephalus; ADSPERSUS ANURA; RANOIDEA}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1096-3642} } @article{MTMT:33660523, title = {An Eudromaeosaurian Theropod from Lo Hueco (Upper Cretaceous.

The fossil record of theropod dinosaurs from this locality is represented by scarce isolated postcranial materials that were preliminarily attributed to abelisaurids and to a possible giant bird, in addition to a large assemblage of isolated teeth that were related to different maniraptoran clades. Here, we describe an isolated partial left tibia articulated with the proximal tarsals and discuss their taxonomic affinities. A review of the European fossil record of Late Cretaceous theropods was performed to analyze possible changes in the faunistical composition during this period. The specimen from Lo Hueco exhibits some characters that have been interpreted as apomorphies for maniraptoran coelurosaurs and a combination of features compatible with deinonychosaurians. Within this clade, the specimen is more favorably comparable with velociraptorine dromaeosaurids and is tentatively interpreted as a member of this group. This specimen is one of the few non-dental specimens of dromaeosaurids described thus far from the Upper Cretaceous of the Iberian Peninsula and contributes to a better understanding of the composition and evolutionary history of the European theropod fauna during the last stages of the Mesozoic.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1424-2818}, orcid-numbers = {Escaso, F/0000-0001-7642-1555} } @article{MTMT:32627962, title = {Upper Cretaceous European theropod palaeobiodiversity, palaeobiogeography and the intra-Maastrichtian faunal turnover: new contributions from the Iberian fossil site of Lano}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32627962}, author = {Isasmendi, E and Torices, A and Canudo, JI and Currie, PJ. and Pereda-Suberbiola, X}, doi = {10.1002/spp2.1419}, journal-iso = {PAP PALAEONTOL}, journal = {PAPERS IN PALAEONTOLOGY}, volume = {8}, unique-id = {32627962}, issn = {2056-2799}, abstract = {A total of 227 theropod teeth have so far been recovered from the upper Campanian Lano site (northern Iberian Peninsula). The teeth were studied for their qualitative and quantitative features. From the theropod sample found at Lano, seven morphotypes attributed to five taxa are identified: a medium to large abelisaurid (Arcovenator sp.) and four small coelurosaurians (Dromaeosauridae indet., Paraves indet., cf. Paronychodon sp. and cf. Richardoestesia sp.) Together with the ground bird Gargantuavis and a possible ornithomimosaur, the theropod fauna of Lano might be composed of two medium-large-sized non-avian theropods, four small-bodied non-avian theropods and a large terrestrial bird. This makes the Lano site the richest and most diverse latest Cretaceous theropod site in Europe. Furthermore, the Lano site and the Upper Cretaceous localities of Europe that have yielded theropod remains suggest that the medium-large-sized theropods were abelisaurids or indeterminate theropods. The small theropods are more abundant, diverse and represented by different dromaeosaurids, Paronychodon, Richardoestesia or related forms, troodontids and, probably, by other paravians. Of the birds, enantiornithines, gargantuaviids and ornithurines are also common in the European Upper Cretaceous sites. The theropod assemblage of Lano, together with the taxa of other Upper Cretaceous sites, supports the idea that several theropod dispersal events took place during the Cretaceous. This resulted in a mixture of European endemic, Asiamerican and Gondwanan forms. This study also supports the hypothesis that the intra-Maastrichtian faunal turnover that occurred in the Ibero-Armorican landmass seems to have had no apparent effect on theropods.}, keywords = {Europe;
