This list of pathological conditions reported in Mesozoic dinosaurs enumerates the various types of injury, disease, deformity or parasite infection identified among Mesozoic dinosaur fossils. The list
The hippocampus (pl.: hippocampi; via Latin from Greek ἱππόκαμπος, 'seahorse'), also hippocampus proper, is a major component of the brain of humans and many other vertebrates. In the human brain the hippocampus, the dentate gyrus, and the subiculum are components of the hippocampal formation located in the limbic system.
This list of nicknamed dinosaur fossils is a list of fossil non-avian dinosaur specimens given informal names or nicknames, in addition to their institutional catalogue numbers. It excludes informal appellations that are purely descriptive (e.g., "the Fighting Dinosaurs", "the Trachodon Mummy").
The hippocampal subfields are four subfields CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4 that make up the structure of the hippocampus. Regions described in the hippocampus are the head, body, and tail, and other hippocampal subfields include the dentate gyrus , the presubiculum , and the subiculum .
The dinosaurs Thescelosaurus, Ornithomimus, Pachycephalosaurus and Ankylosaurus were also included in the breakdown, but were relatively rare. Other dinosaurs, such as Sphaerotholus , Denversaurus , Torosaurus , Struthiomimus , Acheroraptor , Dakotaraptor , Pectinodon, Richardoestesia , Paronychodon , Anzu , Leptorhynchos and Troodon (more ...
tr This is a list of stratigraphic units from which dinosaur body fossils have been recovered. Although Dinosauria is a clade which includes modern birds, this article covers only Mesozoic stratigraphic units. Units listed are all either formation rank or higher (e.g. group).
Ornithischia (/ ˌ ɔːr n ə ˈ θ ɪ s k i. ə /) is an extinct clade of mainly herbivorous dinosaurs characterized by a pelvic structure superficially similar to that of birds. [6] The name Ornithischia, or "bird-hipped", reflects this similarity and is derived from the Greek stem ornith-(ὀρνιθ-), meaning "bird", and ischion (ἴσχιον), [a] meaning "hip". [7]
Due to the nature of the fossil record, however, it cannot be observed whether or not color played a role in dome function. Longrich, Sankey & Tanke (2010) argued that species recognition is an unlikely evolutionary cause for the dome, because dome forms are not notably different between species. Because of this general similarity, several ...
