“…There is no evidence for either feeding height stratification within any of these clades, or for change in these ecological relationships through the approximately 1.5 Ma record of the Dinosaur Park Formation. CONCLUSIONS: Although we cannot reject the possibility, we find no good evidence that feeding height stratification, as revealed by reconstructed maximum feeding heights, played an important role in facilitating niche partitioning among the herbivorous dinosaurs of Laramidia. …”

“…This paper is the second of a three-part series that investigates the architecture of cancellous bone in the main hindlimb bones of theropod dinosaurs, and uses cancellous bone architectural patterns to infer locomotor biomechanics in extinct non-avian species. …”

“…Here, we use a powerful combination of methods that focus on high-resolution mass spectrometry to evaluate the molecular-scale preservation of a dinosaur quarry from the Triassic Period. We found that despite very good overall preservation at this locality, there is no evidence of endogenous molecules, demonstrating that molecular preservation is variable and that good macro- and microscale preservation cannot necessarily be used as predictors for biomolecule preservation in the fossil record. …”
