| | | | | As a regular reader here, you might be familiar with the idea that we're currently in a Golden Age of dinosaur discovery. More fossil dinosaurs are being discovered, monthly and annually, than at any other point in history, and numerous locations worldwide - even those considered well explored and well understood scientifically - continue to yield new species. Yes, new dinosaurs are found in countries like Malawi, Ecuador and Tanzania, and in Antarctica, but new dinosaurs are also found in the USA, Franc... | |

| | | | | In a half-remembered time a few years ago now, I had a great many rambling thoughts and feelings about feathered dinosaurs as movie monsters and wrote them down.

| | | | | Tooth-marked bones provide important evidence for feeding choices made by extinct carnivorous animals. In the case of the dinosaurs, most bite traces are attributed to the large and robust osteophagous tyrannosaurs, but those of other large carnivores remain underreported. Here we report on an extensive survey of the literature and some fossil collections cataloging a large number of sauropod bones (68) from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of the USA that bear bite traces that can be attributed to theropods. We find that such bites on large sauropods, although less common than in tyrannosaur-dominated faunas, are known in large numbers from the Morrison Formation, and that none of the observed traces showed evidence of healing. The presence of tooth wear in non-tyrannosaur theropods further shows that they were biting into bone, but it remains difficult to assign individual bite traces to theropod taxa in the presence of multiple credible candidate biters. The widespread occurrence of bite traces without evidence of perimortem bites or healed bite traces, and of theropod tooth wear in Morrison Formation taxa suggests preferential feeding by theropods on juvenile sauropods, and likely scavenging of large-sized sauropod carcasses. | |
