The latter constitutes the first formal description of Caenagnathidae from the Frenchman Formation. The Saskatchewan material is also notable for its large size, comparable to Anzu wyliei from the coeval Hell Creek Formation, placing them among the largest caenagnathids from North America. The slightly smaller Dinosaur Park unguals may pertain to either Caenagnathus collinsi (a taxon for which manual material is only tentatively known) or to an as yet unidentified large taxon. The new material demonstrates that despite an apparent reduction in diversity in the Maastrichtian, North American caenagnathid distribution did not retract notably from its Campanian maximum.}, journal={CRETACEOUS RESEARCH}, author={Bell, Phil R. and Currie, Philip J. and Russell, Dale A.}, year={2015}, month={Jan}, pages={101–107} }

Phylogenetic analysis recovers Ceratosauroidea and Coelophysoidea as sister lineages within Ceratosauria, and Berberosaurus as a basal abelisauroid. Berberosaurus is the oldest known abelisauroid and extends the first appearance datum of this lineage by about 50 million years. The taxon bridges temporal, morphological, and phylogenetic gaps that have hitherto separated Triassic to Early Jurassic coelophysoids from Late Jurassic through Cretaceous ceratosauroids. The discovery of an African abelisauroid in the Early Jurassic confirms at least a Gondwanan distribution of this group long before the Cretaceous.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY}, author={Allain, Ronan and Tykoski, Ronald and Aquesbi, Najat and Jalil, Nour-Eddine and Monbaron, Michel and Russel, Dale and Taquet, Philippe}, year={2007}, month={Sep}, pages={610–624} }

A review of topographic, sedimentary and biologic data pertaining to terrestrial mid-Cretaceous equatorial environments broadly supports the climatic inferences of marine studies. In particular, analyses of widely-occurring low latitude Saharan sediments support the Cretaceous greenhouse hypothesis. In comparison to marine ecosystems, terrestrial ecosystems respond more sensitively to atmospherically transported heat and nutrients because of the more tenuous presence of the hydrosphere on land. Indeed, the morphologies of terrestrial biota suggest that: (1) equatorial mid-Cretaceous climates were episodic rather than seasonal; (2) convective storms although infrequent were violent; and (3) a moist intertropical convergence zone was absent. Cretaceous atmospheric dynamics apparently differed importantly from those of the present. Circumstantial evidence suggests that (1) higher atmospheric carbon dioxide levels probably stimulated the emission of other greenhouse gases; and (2) higher humidity levels reduced diurnal temperature variations but impaired evaporative thermoregulatory mechanisms. That terrestrial ecosystems withstood greenhouse conditions in low latitudes as well as they did underscores the adaptability of terrestrial life. Analogies for future environmental stresses and responses, whether anthropogenic or resulting from other causes, might be found in the terrestrial record of the Cretaceous equatorial zone.}, number={5}, journal={CRETACEOUS RESEARCH}, author={Russell, DA and Paesler, MA}, year={2003}, month={Oct}, pages={569–588} }

Intrabone and interbone δp variations indicate heat flow within an individual and can be used to establish thermoregulatory strategies such as homeothermy and regional heterothermy. This method is applied to an individual Triceratops skeleton where the results suggest very high and uniform heat flow through the parietal frill, maintaining mean frill temperatures between 0–4°C below the body core. Heat flow to the postorbital horn-core is much more variable. The frill and horn cores of Triceratops were used as thermoregulatory structures with the horn cores interpreted as being especially important in the stabilization of brain temperatures at extreme ambient temperatures and the frill serving a more consistent role in body temperature regulation.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY}, author={Barrick, RE and Stoskopf, MK and Marcot, JD and Russell, DA and Showers, WJ}, year={1998}, month={Dec}, pages={746–750} }

Unfortunately, the fragmentary nature of the single known skeleton makes comparison with other theropods difficult. Historically, Dryptosaurus has been placed, at one time or another, in the theropod families Coeluridae, Deinodontidae, Megalosauridae, Tyrannosauridae, and its own family, Dryptosauridae. Most of these assignments have been based upon superficial resemblances to various members of those families. Reexamination of the specimen indicates the presence of unique serrations on the maxillary teeth, a large ungual/humeral ratio, the probable presence of a high, centrally located ascending process on the astragalus, and a non-arctometatarsal. These features indicate that Dryptosaurus is a unique theropod and should be placed in its own family, Dryptosauridae.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY}, author={Carpenter, K and Russell, D and Baird, D and Denton, R}, year={1997}, month={Sep}, pages={561–573} }
