An excellent summary of the Hell Creek Formation and the dinosaurs found there by Russel et al
Horner et al’s discussion of the prevalence of Tyrannosaurus fossils compared to Edmontosaurus
Remember Kosmoceratops? The paper describing that genus also gives evidence of the “dinosaur provincialism” theory postulating separation of dinosaurs in Laramidia into northern and southern “provinces”
Something a lot like a Tyrannosaurus was chomping on Edmontosaurus
I don’t have a great source on the “T. rex olfactory bulb was smaller than some papers indicate”, but in my defence Dr David Hone (a real paleontologist) said it on a podcast so it has to be right
Farlow’s paper on how T. rex would have died if it ran as fast as depicted in the movie
Tyrannosaurus was likely too big for feathers
If T. rex did have feathers, it probably didn’t look like this, which makes us sad
The paper introducing Dakotaraptor to the world
The closely-related-maybe-the-same-dinosaur Acheroraptor
Was Dakotaraptor actually just a big Acheroraptor? Andrea Cau has some thoughts!
Whoops that bone was actually from a turtle, not a Dakotaraptor
Roach et al. take on the “hunting in packs” hypothesis
