Tyrannosaurs are among the most intensively studied and best-known dinosaurs. Despite this, their relationships and systematics are highly controversial. An ongoing debate concerns the validity of Nanotyrannus lancensis, interpreted either as a distinct genus of small-bodied tyrannosaur or a juvenile of Tyrannosaurus rex. We examine multiple lines of evidence and show that the evidence strongly…
Mosasaurids, a clade of specialized marine squamates, saw a major adaptive radiation in the Late Cretaceous, evolving a wide range of body sizes, shapes, and specialized tooth morphologies. The most diverse known mosasaurid faunas come from the late Maastrichtian phosphates of Morocco. Here, we report an unusual new mosasaurid, Stelladens mysteriosus, based on a partial…
A new metriorhynchid specimen with stomach contents is described here. Assigned to Metriorhynchus cf. superciliosus., this specimen has a clear longirostrine form as indicated by its gracile and elongated mandibular rami. This is the second example of gastric contents described for Metriorhynchidae. This specimen’s preservation allows the identification of the gill apparatus remains of Leedsichthys,…
New ornithopod remains have recently been discovered at the Vadillos-1 paleontological site, in Cuenca Province, Central Spain. These remains were collected in sandy and clayey deposits within “Wealden” alluvial facies, which correspond to an upper Barremian (Lower Cretaceous) alluvial-palustrine muddy floodplain paleoenvironment. The remains correspond to a part of a sacrum, including three fused sacral…
Hymenoptera is the fourth-most diverse insect order today, including wasps, bees, bumblebees, and ants. They show a wide panoply of modes of life, such as herbivory, predation, parasitoidism, pollination, and eusociality. This group also includes a great number of extinct species from both amber and compression outcrops. Hymenopterans probably originated in the Paleozoic, although their…
