- 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
