Dinosaur Distribution

Authors:

Abstract

This chapter summarizes all dinosaur locations currently known worldwide. Geographic location is based on primary administrative divisions (e.g., states, departments, provinces, counties) of the countries in which dinosaur material has been found. Locations are annotated for lithostratigraphic unit (bed, formation, group, series), faunal composition, and stratigraphic horizon. The members of the fauna are present in rank order, roughly based on their phylogenetic relationships. The chapter also includes locations yielding skeletal remains and those that have produced tracks and/or trackways, as well as locations where eggs and eggshell fragments have been found.
SECTION TWO
DINOSAUR DISTRIBUTION
AND BIOLOGY
Page 516 is blank
Research on dinosaurs, whether on systematics, biogeography,
paleoecology, or functional morphology, ultimately depends
on their discovery in the field. This update of known dinosaur
occurrences reflects an incredible 55% increase in the number
of entries over those provided by Weishampel (1992), indicat-
ing the astonishing growth in the underpinnings of our research
base in just over a decade. Not only has the number of dinosaur
localities increased, but the high-latitude faunas are better
known and the “midperiod” gaps are beginning to be filled in.
As will be seen in this chapter, there have been substantial in-
creases in the number of specimens from the Mesozoic in North
America and especially in Europe. Asia follows thereafter, with
signifivcant increases in the dinosaur record for all but the Late
Triassic. Increases in the number of of dinosaur localities dis-
covered are also significant in South America and to a lesser
extent in Africa in the Late Triassic and throughout the Creta-
ceous. Australasia and Antarctica lag behind other continents
in number of dinosaur occurrences, but they too provide new
Early Jurassic and Late Cretaceous localities.
This chapter summarizes all dinosaur locations currently
known worldwide. Geographic location is based on primary
administrative divisions (e.g., states, departments, provinces,
counties) of the countries in which dinosaur material has been
found. The only exception is Antarctica, for which there are no
subdivisions. Lithostratigraphic units are generally formational.
Note that, where there is more than one locality from a given
lithostratigraphic unit within one of the administrative divisions
of a county, the localities are lumped together; hence it is ap-
propriate to consider these grouped localities under the more
general term “locations.” Because of the ever-increasing number
of dinosaur discoveries around the world, the previous system
of numbering proved too unwieldy. A new system was devised
to accommodate this new list and provide for future growth. A
locality is identified by its symbol and three numbers: the first
corresponds to the country, the second to the administrative
district within the country, and the third to the formation in
which it was found. For example a labeled 3.5-2 corresponds
to the Late Cretaceous Pen Formation of Texas, United States.
Locations are annotated for (1) lithostratigraphic unit (bed,
formation, group, series, svita), (2) faunal composition, and
(3) stratigraphic horizon (to stage where possible). Faunal com-
position is given to species-level taxa where possible, based on
information presented in this volume. The members of the fauna
are present in rank order, roughly based on their phylogenetic
relationships, although the full phylogenetic hierarchy is not
provided owing to space limitations.
Finally, locations yielding skeletal remains, as well as those
that have produced tracks and or trackways, have been included
(with higher taxonomic referrals; ichnological designations are
not used). The same applies to those locations that have yielded
eggs, eggshell fragments, or both (again, no ootaxa are indicated;
nests, isolated eggs, and eggshell fragments are listed only as
“dinosaur eggs”) and to those that have yielded coprolites. Age
assignments are based, as far as can be ascertained, on the stan-
dard European stages (see the introduction to the volume), but
these are often limited to best guesses about the temporal rela-
tionship between terrestrial and marine strata. For reasons of
length, no attempt has been made to characterize the distribu-
tion of faunas within lithologic units, nor are the sedimentology,
depositional environments, or taphonomic aspects of locations
indicated, although each of these sources of information is in
its own right important to an understanding of dinosaurian
distribution.
Symbols used in the maps refer to the eight series of the
Mesozoic for which there are dinosaur remains: , Late Triassic;
, Early Jurassic; , Middle Jurassic; , Late Jurassic; , Early
Cretaceous; , Late Cretaceous; and , uncertain age. The first
map indicates where larger-scale regional maps may be found
and gives a number of more poleward locations; successive
maps provide locations elsewhere in the world.

Late Triassic
Late Triassic dinosaurs are known from over a hundred loca-
tions in North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa,
and Australasia.
North America
Information on Late Triassic dinosaurs in North America (33 lo-
cations, an increase of about 70%) comes to us primarily through
the work of E. H. Colbert on the faunas of the southwestern
United States and D. Baird on those of the eastern seaboard.
More recently, work on the faunas of the Southwest has been
conducted by a host of research groups led by K. Carpenter,
S. Chatterjee, A. P. Hunt, L. L. Jacobs, M. G. Lockley, R. A. Long,
S. G. Lucas, P. A. Murry, K. Padian, J. M. Parrish, T. Rowe, and
R. M. Sullivan. The faunas in the eastern United States and

Europe
The history of Late Triassic dinosaurs is well known from Europe
(55 locations, an increase of over 40%), in particular, in the
classic Upper Triassic sequence of the Neckar Valley of Baden-
Württemberg, Germany. These German localities were worked
originally by E. Fraas but most successfully by F. von Huene
and later by R. Seemann. Additional work on Upper Triassic sites
in Germany includes that by O. Jaekel at Halberstadt (Nieder-
sachsen) and by F. von Huene and most recently by P. Welln-
hofer in northern Bavaria. Similar dinosaur faunas are known
from Switzerland (from the work of B. Peyer at Hallau and
H. Rieber and M. Saunders at Frick) and France (by E. Buffetaut,

Africa
The majority of our knowledge about the Late Triassic and
Early Jurassic comes from the famous Stormberg Series, Karroo
Basin, of South Africa and Lesotho, primarily through the
early efforts of S. H. Haughton and E. C. N. van Hoepen and
the recent work of J. Attridge, A. W. Crompton, F. and P. Ellen-
berger, P. M. Galton, C. Gow, K. A. Kermack, J. W. Kitching, and
J. van Heerden. Additional locations from the Upper Triassic of
Africa are known from Morocco through work by J.-M. Dutuit
and F.-X. Gauffre, and from Zimbabwe via studies by M. R.
Cooper and M. A. Raath. These locations (12 in number, an in-
crease of approximately 20%) are given in figures 24.10 and

532 DINOSAUR DISTRIBUTION AND BIOLOGY
Europe
Much of what we know about the Early Jurassic of Europe (29
locations, an increase of more than two-fold) comes from the
early English work of R. Owen and A. Smith Woodward; from
later work by, among others, P. C. Ensom; and D. M. Martill;
and from the French studies of E. Buffetaut, G. Cuny, G.-R. De-
mathieu,. P. Ellenberger, A. F. de Lapparent, and C. Montenat.
Other studies include those by A. Ahlberg, E. Bölau, G. Gier-
li´nski, C. Pleijel, and on the small but important dinosaur fauna
of Sweden; by R. Wild and H. Haubold on German faunas; by
G. Gierli´nski and L. Kordos on a Hungarian ichnofauna; and
most recently by M. Lanziger and G. Leonardi, and G. Gierli´n-
ski, on new Italian and Polish track sites, respectively. (The
indeterminate theropod Macrodontophion [Zborzewski 1834] is
now known to be from the Jurassic of Nikolayevskaya Oblast,
Ukraine [location 30.2-1; Kurzanov, pers. comm.], but a bet-
ter age assignment is not possible at this time.) Lower Jurassic
dinosaur locations of Europe are given in figures 24.4 and
24.5.

Middle Jurassic
The fossil record of dinosaurs during the Middle Jurassic has im-
proved immensely over the past decade (they are now known
from nearly a hundred locations), although it still consists of
rather limited faunas. Scattered locations are now known on all
continents except Antarctica, but by far the best record comes
from Europe.
North America
The record of Middle Jurassic dinosaurs in North America (13 lo-
cations, an increase from 1) consists principally of ichnofaunas
from the southwestern United States and southern Mexico
(figs. 24.3, 24.13, and 24.14). These dinosaur occurrences come
to us principally from the research of A. P. Hunt, M. G. Lockley,
and S. G. Lucas in the southwestern United States and J. M.
Clark, D. E. Fastovsky, and I. Ferrusquia-Villafranca in central
Mexico.

Europe
Middle Jurassic dinosaurs are best known from Europe (fig. 24.15;
54 locations, amounting to an increase of over 40%). Scottish
and English locations are known principally through the work
of W. Buckland, J. B. Delair, S. E. Evans, A. N. Leeds, D. M. Mar-
till, A. R. Milner, R. Owen, W. A. S. Sarjeant, H. G. Seeley, and
A. S. Woodward, and. French locations are best known through
the work of E. Buffetaut, F. de Broin, R. Hoffstetter, J. Kriwet and
collaborators, and J. Pivetaut. No less important, although rarer,
are the Portuguese, German, and Russian locations, which are
known through work by W. G. Kuhne, R. A. Thulborn, and V. F.
dos Santos; I. Michelis and collaborators; and V. P. Novikov and
co-workers, respectively.

DINOSAUR DISTRIBUTION 541
Asia
Thirteen locations are known for the Middle Jurassic of Asia (a
threefold increase), most from the People’s Republic of China
(fig. 24.7). The faunas from Sichuan have yielded the most di-
verse, complete, and abundant dinosaur material known from
this timespan. The has the further advantage of currently being
exploited by Cai K.-J., He X.-L., and Peng G.-Z., as well as by
Dong Z.-M., P. J. Currie, Zhao X.-J., and other participants in the
Sino-Canadian Dinosaur Project. Although known only from a
brief mention by Wang S. and collaborators, the Xinjiang Uygur
Zizhiqu fauna is yielding new and important Middle Jurassic
dinosaur material. Farther to the west in Tadzikistan and Uzbek-
istan, L. K. Gabuniya, M. G. Lockley, and V. P. Novikov have re-
corded several new important ichnofaunas.

Late Jurassic
More than any other interval of dinosaur history, the Late Ju-
rassic represents the public’s conception of dinosaur life: long-
necked sauropods, predatory theropods like Allosaurus, and
low-browsing stegosaurs and camptosaurs. These animals and
their relatives are known more extensively—from nearly 120
locations—during the Late Jurassic than previously, particularly
in North America but also in Europe, Asia, South America, and
Africa. There is no present record of Late Jurassic dinosaurs in
Australasia or Antarctica.
North America
Of the 12 North American locations known for the Upper Ju-
rassic, all but three are known from the Western Interior of the
United States and are restricted to the Morrison Formation (figs.
24.1, 24.3, and 24.13). Our knowledge of the Morrison fauna is
derived from the often arduous work of North America’s pio-
neers in vertebrate paleontology. Names such as J. B. Hatcher,
O. C. Marsh, and S. W. Williston; and E. D. Cope; E. Douglass
and C. W. Gilmore; H. F. Osborn and B. Brown; E. S. Riggs; and
J. W. Stovall are intimately associated with the exploitation of
the Upper Jurassic fossil fields of the western United States (see
Ostrom and McIntosh 1966 and Colbert 1968 for the history of
dinosaur discoveries in the Morrison Formation). Work on Late
Jurassic dinosaur faunas has continued unabated by a host of in-
vestigators, among them R. T. Bakker, G. Callison, K. Carpenter,
D. Chure, P. J. Currie, D. D. Gillette, J. R. Horner, J. A. Jensen, J. I.
Kirkland, M. G. Lockley, S. G. Lucas, .J. H. Madsen Jr., W. E. Miller,

Europe
Abundant yet scattered locations pertaining to the Late Jurassic
are known throughout Europe (64 locations, an increase of
42%; fig. 24.15). English faunas were originally revealed by J. W.
Hulke, A. Leeds, R. Lydekker, R. Owen, H. G. Seeley, and, most
recently, J. B. Delair and P. M. Galton. A. Bidar and co-workers,
E. Buffetaut, J. Kriwet, J.-M. Mazin, F. Nopcsa, and E. Sauvage,
among others, have been the principal researchers on the Late
Jurassic faunas of France. Late Jurassic Portuguese dinosaurs has
been investigated by W. G. Kuhne, A. F. de Lapparent, M. Telles
Antunes, R. A. Thulborn, and G. Zbyszewski as well as a host of
current workers who have documented a rich track and skeletal
record, including P. Dantas, V. F. dos Santos, M. G. Lockley,
O. Mateus. O. W. M. Rauhut, and J. Zinke. Thanks to C. A. Meyer,
the dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic from Switzerland are becom-
ing well known, and particularly their track record. Finally, the
Late Jurassic dinosaurs of Germany are known through the work
of H. Friese, M. Kaever, and A. F. de Lapparent.

DINOSAUR DISTRIBUTION 549
Asia
Asian records of Late Jurassic dinosaurs (29 locations, an 80%
increase) have been scattered and often fragmentary (figs. 24.6,
24.7, and 24.16). Most of the material comes from the People’s
Republic of China, originally studied by Cai K.-J., P. J. Currie,
Dong Z.-M., He X.-L., C.-C. Young, Zhao Z.-C., and co-workers
are currently studying the still-burgeoning Late Jurassic dino-
saurs from Sichuan, many of which provide us with a new per-
spective on the fauna of this time interval. Records of dinosaur
ichnofaunas from Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan, and Georgia have
been studied by L. K. Gabuniya, M. G. Lockley, V. P. Novikov,
and colleagues. Dinosaur faunas from Thailand have also been
described by E. Buffetaut, R. Ingavat, and V. Suteethorn. The first
Late Jurassic fauna from Mongolia (otherwise known only for
its Cretaceous dinosaur record) has recently been announced
by Y. M. Gubin and S. M. Sinitza. Finally, the dinosaur faunas of
M. Matsukawa, I. Obata, and Y. Tomida.

are represented by dinosaur tracks or trackways from Brazil, Chile,
and Argentina, described by G. Leonardi, R. M. Casamiquela,
O. Galli, R. Dingman, and D. Rubilar, among others. Another,
from Colombia, is represented by possible cetiosaurid material
described by W. Langston Jr. and J. W. Durham, while G. C. Diaz
and Z. B. de Gasparini report an undescribed dinosaur fauna from
northern Chile.

Africa
The Tendaguru fauna of Tanzania is perhaps the best known of
all dinosaur faunas from Africa. This site was originally worked by
E. Fraas from the Königlichen Naturalienkabinett Stuttgart (now
the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde, Stuttgart), but most
extensively between 1909 and 1912 by W. Janensch, E. Hennig,
and H. Reck under the auspices of the Humboldt-Universität
Museum für Naturkunde (for further information on the Ger-
man expedition to Tendaguru, see Hennig 1912). From 1924 to
1929, Tendaguru was worked by an expedition from the British
Museum (Natural History), headed successively by W. E. Cutler,
F. W. H. Migeod, and J. Parkinson (Parkinson 1930). Although
the Tendaguru fauna is not presently worked (Zils et al. 1995),
revisionary studies of the fauna continue to recognize new taxa,
principally through the work of O. W. M. Rauhut. Other African
work on the Late Jurassic has been conducted by D.-M. Dutuit
and A. Ouazzou in Morocco, L. Ginsburg and co-workers in
Niger, and M. A. Raath in Zimbabwe. Recently, M. B. Goodwin
and collaborators have discovered the first Ethiopian dinosaur
fauna, also from the Late Jurassic. Upper Jurassic dinosaur loca-
tions in Africa are given in figures 24.10 and 24.11.

North America
Lower Cretaceous dinosaurs are presently known from 48 loca-
tions (an increase of nearly 50%). The most important among
them are found primarily in the Western Interior of the United
States, thanks to the early work of B. Brown and P. Kaisen and
later work by P. R. Bjork, B. B. Britt, K. Carpenter, J. A. Dorr Jr.,
J. G. Eaton, A. P. Hunt, J. I. Kirkland, M. G. Lockley, S. G. Lucas,
W. D. Maxwell, J. H. Ostrom, R. P. Ratkevich, and D. B. Wei-
shampel. The first Early Cretaceous dinosaur occurrence from
California was reported by R. P. Hilton and colleagues. Addi-
tional western North American records include important ichno-
faunas from British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, and Alaska,
United States, described by P. J. Currie, R. A. Gangloff, and C. M.

556 DINOSAUR DISTRIBUTION AND BIOLOGY
Europe
The Early Cretaceous is well known in Europe (89 locations,
amounting to nearly a 90% increase). The Wealden and Wealden
equivalents have produced the greatest number of dinosaur
faunas (figs. 24.1, 24.5, and 24.19). Important locations include
those of England, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, and Portu-
gal. The English dinosaur faunas are known through the early
work of W. Buckland, J. W. Hulke, G. A. Mantell, R. Owen, H. G.
Seeley, and recently through the research of P. M. Barrett, W. T.
Blows, A. J. Charig, P. C. Ensom, S. Hutt, D. M. Martill, D. B. Nor-
man, and J. L. Wright. Much more spectacular though more
limited in scope, the Early Cretaceous dinosaurs of Belgium,
inextricably linking the Bernissart iguanodons and the name of
L. Dollo, remain one of the best investigated of all dinosaurian
occurrences (viz. Casier 1978; Norman 1987c). Germany has pro-
vided additional perspectives on Early Cretaceous mass assem-
blages and other faunal aspects through the work of H. Holder,
E. Koken, D. B. Norman, and K. Oekentorp. Elsewhere in Europe,
dinosaurian faunas appear to have a more differentiated com-
position. In France, these have been studied principally by H.-E.
Sauvage, A. F. de Lapparent, V. Stchepinsky, E. Buffetaut, J. Le
Loeuff, and V. Martin, and in Spain and Portugal by, among
many others, L. M. Aguirrezabala, A. Buscalioni, J. I. Canudo,
M. L. Casanovas, C. A. Meyer, J. J. Moratalla, B. Perez-Moreno,
N. H. Platt, J. I. Ruiz-Omeñaca, B. Sanchiz, J. V. Santafé, J. L.
Sanz, X. Pereda-Suberbiola, and L. I. Viera. Finally, three dino-
saur occurrences, less well known, deserve mention. One, from
western Romania, was originally worked by T. Jurcsák and E. Popa,
and later by M. J. Benton and co-workers. Another, in Croatia, is
known through the work of F. M. Dalla Vecchia. Finally, C. Dal
Sasso and M. Signore (1998) announced a new theropod skele-
ton from Italy that also has exceptionally well-preserved soft
tissue.

DINOSAUR DISTRIBUTION 563
Asia
Asian records of Early Cretaceous dinosaurs (107 locations,
producing a 160% increase) compare well with those of the Late
Cretaceous on this continent as well as elsewhere (figs. 24.7,
24.16, 24.20, 24.21, and 24.22). Studies of Early Cretaceous
dinosaurs in northern China and Mongolia include those by
B. Brown, P. R. Currie, Dong Z.-M., W. Granger, K. Mikhailov,
H. F. Osborn, E. Schlaikjer, A. K. Rozhdestvensky, D. A. Russell,
C.-C. Young, and Zhao Z.-C. But by far the most important dis-
covery in China, if not the world, was a Lagerstatt in Liaoning
Province. It is considered by many to be as important as the
discovery of Archaeopteryx in the last century. Both avialan and
nonavialan dinosaurs, with and without feathers, are presently
under investigation by Ji Q., Ji S.-A., P. R. Currie, and others. The
dinosaurs of South Korea, known mostly from ichnofaunas,
have been studied by H.-M. Kim, S.-K. Lim, and M. G. Lockley,
among others. In Japan, scattered but intriguing assemblages
are known through the research of H. Hasegawa, Y. Azuma,
Y. Tomida, and M. Matsukawa. J. H. Hoffet, E. Buffetaut, R. In-
gavat, V. Suteethorn, P. Taquet, and R. Allain have conducted
important work on the Early Cretaceous dinosaurs of Thailand
and Laos. Finally, Asian Russia, Kazakhstan, Tadzhikistan, Uzbek-
istan, and Kirghizia have been investigated by A. N. Riabinin,
A. K. Rozhdestvensky, V. P. Novikov, and L. A. Nessov. (A series
of ornithopod trackways is reported from Nei Mongol Zizhiqu,
People’s Republic of China [Gao et al. 1981], but they are dated
only as Cretaceous in age [location 48.11-15].)

Africa
The African record of the Lower Cretaceous (24 locations, a
60% increase) has yielded a variety of dinosaur fossils, primarily
through the work of C. Deperét and A. F. de Lapparent, R. Lavo-
cat, M. Monbaron, J. Savornin, P. Taquet, and in the “Conti-
nental intercalaire” and Elrhaz Formation of Morocco, Algeria,
Tunisia, Libya, Mali, and Niger, as well as the Kalahari Deposits
of South Africa. Additional Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous
African material is known from South Africa, originally studied
by R. Broom and later by W. A. Coombs Jr., P. M. Galton, R. E.
Molnar, P. V. Rich, and T. H. V. Rich. Other recent research on
Afrcan faunas include studies by S. Bouaziz, M. Brunet, J. Con-
gleton, J. J. Flynn, C. A. Forster, E. M. P. Gomani, L. L. Jacobs,
T. H. V. Rich, and P. C. Sereno. Figures 24.10, 24.11, and 24.23

574 DINOSAUR DISTRIBUTION AND BIOLOGY
Late Cretaceous
Late Cretaceous dinosaurs are known from nearly four hundred
locations, particularly from the Campanian and Maastrichtian
and principally from Canada and the United States in North
America and from Mongolia and the People’s Republic of China
in eastern Asia. Additional Late Cretaceous material is known
from Europe, South America, Africa, Australasia, and Antarctica.
North America
The greatest diversity and abundance of dinosaurs are known
from the Late Cretaceous of North America (148 locations, an
increase of nearly 50%; figs. 24.1, 24.2, 24.3, 24.14, 24.17, 24.18,
and 24.24). Histories of the great Late Cretaceous dinosaur dis-
coveries of the late 1800s and early 1900s exist in the writings of
Sternberg (1909, 1917), Russell (1967), and Colbert (1968). The
likes of B. Brown, E. D. Cope, W. E. Cutler, G. M. Dawson, C. W.
Gilmore, J. B. Hatcher, L. M. Lambe, J. Leidy, O. C. Marsh, W. A.
Parks, and C. H. Sternberg and his sons (George, Charles M., and
Levi), and established the dinosaurian wealth from North Amer-
ica. At a pace unabated to this day, Late Cretaceous dinosaurs
from the Western Interior of Canada, particularly southeastern
Alberta, continue to be revealed through the important research
of D. B. Brinkman, P. J. Currie, D. A. Eberth, R. C. Fox, W. Lang-
ston Jr., D. A. Russell, L. S. Russell, J. E. Storer, D. Tanke, and
T. To ka ry k.
At the same time, a great array of dinosaur paleontologists—
among them J. D. Archibald, B. H. Breithaupt, K. Carpenter,
W. A. Clemens, P. Dodson J. G. Eaton, D. E. Fastovsky, A. R. Fio-
rillo, D. Gabriel, R. A. Gangloff, J. R. Horner, A. P. Hunt, J. K.
Kirkland, T. M. Lehman, S. G. Lucas, M. C. McKenna, J. K. Rigby
Jr., P. M. Sheehan, R. E. Sloan, R. M. Sullivan, L. Van Valen, D. B.
Weishampel, T. E. Williamson, and D. G. Wolfe—carry on the
tradition first established by Cope and Marsh in the northern
realm of the Western Interior and Alaska of the United States.
Elsewhere in the United States, Upper Cretaceous exposures
of the San Juan Basin of New Mexico, of the Big Bend area of
Texas, of the states of the Gulf Coast, and along the eastern sea-
board of the United States have also yielded important dinosaur
material. These areas were initially studied by B. Brown, C. W.
Gilmore, J. Leidy, and C. H. Sternberg, and more recently by J. G.
Armstrong-Ziegler, W. A. Clemens, E. H. Colbert, R. K. Denton,
W. B. Gallagher, J. J. Head, J. P. Lamb, W. Langston Jr., Y.-M.
Lee, T. M. Lehman, S. G. Lucas, N. J. Mateer, D. Parris, and D. R.
Schwimmer, among others.
Several small but important Late Cretaceous dinosaur faunas
from Mexico and Honduras have been documented. They have
been studied by R. E. Molnar, W. I. Morris, G. E. Murray, and
others, and most recently by C. Gonzáles-Leon, R. Hernández-
Riviera, and R. Rodriguez de la Rosa.

588 DINOSAUR DISTRIBUTION AND BIOLOGY
Europe
European Late Cretaceous dinosaurs are becoming increasingly
well known (84 locations, amounting to a 110% increase). Areas
in southern France, northern Spain, eastern Austria, The Nether-
lands, and the Transylvania region of Romania have produced
remarkable dinosaur faunas thanks to the early work of F. Nopcsa,
P. Matheron, L. Dollo, A. F. de Lapparent, E. Bunzel, and H. G.
Seeley. More recently, research in France by E. Buffetaut, P. Taquet,
P. Kerourio, B. Sigé, J. Le Loeuff, and Y. Laurent, among others,
has made this region one of the best known for its Late Cretaceous
dinosaur faunas. In The Netherlands, A. W. F. Meijer, E. W. A.
Mulder, and collaborators have extended our knowledge of the
dinosaurs from the type localities of the Maastrichtian Stage.
Knowledge of the Late Cretaceous dinosaurs of Spain, one of the
most promising European areas for new discoveries, has been
increased through the important faunistic work of M. L. Casa-
novas Cladellas, J. V. Santafé-Llopis, J. L. Sanz, C. Pol, X. Pereda-
Suberbiola, A. Buscalioni, J. J. Moratalla, W. Brinkmann, A.Schulp,
L. Ardévol, J. Company, and A. Galobart. A preliminary account
of new hadrosaurid material from the Late Cretaceous of north-
ern Italy has been reported by F. M. Dalla Vecchia. Finally, study
of the important Romanian dinosaur fauna has been recently
renewed by D. Grigorescu, Z. Csiki, V. Codrea, C.-M. Jianu, and
D. B. Weishampel. All these Late Cretaceous faunas of Europe
are indicated in figures 24.5 and 24.19.

Asia
The Asian record of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs (110 locations, an
increase of more than 80%; figs. 24.6, 24.16, 24.20, 24.21, and
24.22) includes the famous discoveries in the Mongolian
Gobi Desert (Lavas 1993) by the Central Asiatic Expeditions (An-
drews 1932), the Joint Soviet-Mongolian Expeditions (Efremov
1956), and the Polish-Mongolian Expeditions (Kielan-Jaworowska
1969). These explorations continue to the present day through
the important research of the Joint Mongolian Academy of
Science–American Museum of Natural History expeditions (No-
vacek 1996) and the Hayashibara Museum of Natural Sciences–
Geological Institute of the Academy of Science of Mongolia Joint
Paleontological Expeditions (Ishii et al. 1995).
Dinosaur material has also been recovered from early Late
Cretaceous horizons of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan,
and Kirghizia by S. M. Kurzanov, A. N. Riabinin, A. K. Rozhdest-
vensky, and most recently by J. D. Archibald, A. O. Averianov,
L. A. Nessov, H.-D. Sues, and colleagues. The dinosaurs of central
India are known through the work of C. A. Matley and F. von
Huene and later work by S. L. Jain, D. M. Mohabey, K. N. Prasad,
A. Sahni, and P. Yadagiri. Known from important locations in
the People’s Republic of China, principally Nei Mongol Zizhiqu,
Henan, and Shandong, these dinosaur assemblages have been
studied by C. Wiman and C.-C. Young, and later by Hu C.-C.,
P. J. Currie, D. A. Eberth, P. Godefroit, Zhao X.-J., Pang Q.-P., and
Chen Z.-W. Finally, through recent efforts, the dinosaur faunas
of Japan are beginning to be understood, thanks to the efforts
of Y. Azuma, Y. Tomida, Y. Hasegawa, and colleagues.

600 DINOSAUR DISTRIBUTION AND BIOLOGY
South America
The South American record of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs (61 lo-
cations, an increase of nearly 50%; figs. 24.8 and 24.9) consists
of a number of early discoveries by F. Ameghino, R. Lydekker,
and F. Huene in Argentina. Recent work throughout the conti-
nent, however, has eclipsed these efforts. In Brazil, R. J. Bertini,
D. A. Campos, A. W. A. Kellner, and L. I. Price have unearthed
a wealth of dinosaur material, much of which is still to be pub-
lished. Bolivian, Peruvian, Uruguayan, and Chilean dinosaurs
are now known through the work of F. de Broin, G. Faccio, J. Iri-
arte, C. A. Meyer, B. Sigé, and others. Finally, the pace of discov-
eries of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs from Argentina has dramati-
cally increased, thanks to the work of a host of investigators,
including J. F. Bonaparte, J. Powell, G. del Corro, R. A. Coria, J. O.
Calvo, L. M. Chiappe, F. E. Novas, R. D. Martinez, and L. Salgado,
R. M. Casamiquela, and O. Alcober.

Africa
African Late Cretaceous dinosaur locations now number 20, a
110% increase since 1992. Among the best come from the Western
Desert of Egypt; these were collected and studied by E. Stromer.
Although this material was destroyed at the close of World
War II, new collecting efforts have been made there by O. W. M.
Rauhut, and most recently by J. B. Smith and co-workers. Ad-
ditional African sites of significance include Morocco (worked
by A. F. de Lapparent and co-workers, and P. C. Sereno and co-
workers), Niger (worked by P. Taquet), and Madagascar (worked
by M. C. Deperét, A. Thevenin, R. Lavocat, I. Obata and co-
workers, and P. Taquet and co-workers, and by D. W. Krause,
S. D. Sampson, C. A. Forster, and co-workers. Late Cretaceous

Mongolia has a long history of discoveries and research related to dinosaur eggs. Since the first scientific discoveries in the early 1920s, numerous eggs, eggshells, and nests have been collected by various international expeditions and have contributed significantly to our understanding of reproductive traits in dinosaurs. In this study, we report on non-avian dinosaur egg remains that were collected as part of the Korean-Mongolia International Dinosaur Expeditions and the joint expeditions between Japan and Mongolia. This research includes the first detailed descriptions of six ootaxa (Collacoidoolithus oosp., Dendroolithus oosp., Macroelongatoolithus oosp., Paraspheroolithus irenensis, cf. Protoceratopsidovum minimum, and cf. Spheroolithus maiasauroides) from Upper Cretaceous localities (Altan Uul I, Altan Uul IV, Bayanshiree, Shine Us Khudag and Shiluut Uul) in order to provide a current summary of dinosaur ootaxa and egg-producing localities from the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. A compilation of locality and formation data for these and other ootaxa from Mongolia reveals the egg-bearing Upper Cretaceous formations, except the Javkhlant Formation, have each yielded ten or more non-avian dinosaur ootaxa (Baruungoyot, Bayanshiree, Djadokhta, and Nemegt formations). Mongolia is thus among the richest countries with respect to abundance and diversity of dinosaur eggs.
... From the upper Maastrichtian, the small-bodied Ojoraptorsaurus is represented by a single pubis from the Ojo Alamo Formation of New Mexico (Sullivan et al., 2011) and Anzu, a largebodied taxon, is represented by several partial skeletons and isolated elements from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota (Lamanna et al., 2014;Cullen et al., 2020;Tsujimura et al., 2021) and the Frenchman Formation of Saskatchewan (Bell et al., 2015;. Although caenagnathids are most common in Campanian strata of Alberta, their presence in upper Maastrichtian deposits has only been suggested (Weishampel et al., 2004;Brown et al., 2015), and specimens have yet to be described. ...
... Amongst the various dinosaur groups that inhabited the Late Cretaceous European Archipelago, the Rhabdodontidae is one of the most important, as these animals seem to have been exceptionally abundant and also relatively diverse, representing the most common medium-sized herbivores of Europe during the largest part of the later Late Cretaceous (Weishampel et al. 2004;Csiki-Sava et al. 2015). Currently, the Rhabdodontidae comprises nine species within six genera, which have been found in southern France, northern Spain, eastern Austria, western Hungary and western Romania (Fig. 1) and which range in age from the Santonian to the late Maastrichtian (Matheron 1869;Bunzel 1871;Seeley 1881;Nopcsa 1902;Buffetaut and Le Loeuff 1991;Weishampel et al. 2003;Ősi et al. 2012;Godefroit et al. 2017;Párraga and Prieto-Márquez 2019;Augustin et al. 2022). ...

The Rhabdodontidae was one of the most important dinosaur groups inhabiting the Late Cretaceous European Archipelago. Currently, the clade comprises nine species within six genera, which have been found in southern France, northern Spain, eastern Austria, western Hungary and western Romania, ranging from the Santonian to the late Maastrichtian. Phylogenetic analyses consistently place the Rhabdodontidae at the very base of the iguanodontian radiation, whereas the in-group relationships of rhabdodontids are relatively poorly understood; nevertheless, the clade seems to have had a rather complicated biogeographical history. Generally, rhabdodontids were small- to medium-sized, probably habitually bipedal herbivores, characterised by a rather stocky build and a comparatively large, triangular skull. Several lines of evidence suggest that they were presumably gregarious animals, as well as selective browsers that fed on fibrous plants and occupied different ecological niches than sympatric herbivorous dinosaur clades. Moreover, the sympatry of at least two rhabdodontid taxa was rather common and can be explained, at least in some instances, by niche partitioning. While rhabdodontids disappeared prior to the K/Pg extinction event in Western Europe, they survived close to the end of the Cretaceous in Eastern Europe, where they were amongst the last non-avian dinosaurs still present before the end of the Cretaceous. In this paper, we provide an overview of the rhabdodontid taxonomic history, diversity, phylogenetic relationships and palaeobiogeographic history, as well as palaeoecology and extinction. In addition, we also highlight still open questions on each of these topics and suggest potential future research directions.
... Sauropods, firstly appeared in the Late Triassic (Sereno 1999;Yates and Kitching 2003;McPhee et al. 2014), were a Mesozoic radiation of herbivorous dinosaurs including gigantic forms among the largest known terrestrial animals (Wilson 2002;Upchurch et al. 2004;Sander and Clauss 2008;Sander et al. 2010;Rauhut et al. 2011;González Riga et al. 2016;Carballido et al. 2017), achieving an almost global distribution by Middle Jurassic time (Weishampel et al. 2004). The clade experienced a major extinction event at the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary (Barrett et al. 2009), with a further loss of diversity among remaining lineages during the Early Cretaceous, with the exception of rebbachisaurids and titanosaurs (Mannion and Upchurch 2010), these latter highly diversified during the Cretaceous (Salgado et al. 1997;Salgado 2001;Curry Rogers 2005). ...
... The genus Brachylophosaurus is represented at DPP by two specimens, including the holotype, which was collected 7.5 m below the OFm-DPFm contact (Cuthbertson and Holmes 2010). The taxon is well represented regionally, including farther south in the Milk River, Judith River, and Malta areas of Alberta and Montana (Weishampel et al. 2004;Prieto-Marquez 2005, 2007Tweet et al. 2008;Cuthbertson and Holmes 2010;Freedman-Fowler and Horner 2015). ...

The 100 m thick stratigraphic section exposed at Dinosaur Provincial Park (DPP; southern Alberta) contains bentonites that have been used for more than 30 years to date DPP’s rocks and fossils using the K–Ar decay scheme. Limited reproducibility among different vintages of K–Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages inhibited the development of a high-resolution chronostratigraphy. Here, we employ and further test a recently completed U–Pb geochronology and associated age-stratigraphy model to update temporal constraints on the Park’s bentonites, formational contacts, and other markers. In turn, we document rock accumulation rates and calibrate ages and durations of informal megaherbivore dinosaur assemblage zones and other biozones. Weighted mean ²⁰⁶ Pb/238 U ages from five bentonites range from 76.718 ± 0.020 to 74.289 ± 0.014 Ma (2σ internal uncertainties) through an interval of 88.75 m, indicating a duration of ∼2.43 Myr and an overall rock accumulation rate of 3.65 ± 0.04 cm/ka. An increase in rate above the Oldman–Dinosaur Park formational contact conforms to a regionally expressed pattern of increased accommodation at ∼76.3 Ma across Alberta and Montana. Palynological biozone data suggest a condensed section/hiatus in the uppermost portion of the Oldman Formation. Dinosaur assemblage zones exhibit durations of ∼700–600 kyr and are significantly shorter than those in the overlying Horseshoe Canyon Formation. A decreased rate in dinosaur assemblage turnovers in the last eight million years of the Mesozoic in western Canada may be explained by withdrawal of the Western Interior Seaway and the expansion of ecologically homogenous lowlands in its wake.

The Late Cretaceous of western North America supported diverse dinosaur assemblages, though understanding patterns of dinosaur diversity, evolution, and extinction has been historically limited by unequal geographic and temporal sampling. In particular, the existence and extent of faunal endemism along the eastern coastal plain of Laramidia continues to generate debate, and finer scale regional patterns remain elusive. Here, we report a new centrosaurine ceratopsid, Lokiceratops rangiformis , from the lower portion of the McClelland Ferry Member of the Judith River Formation in the Kennedy Coulee region along the Canada-USA border. Dinosaurs from the same small geographic region, and from nearby, stratigraphically equivalent horizons of the lower Oldman Formation in Canada, reveal unprecedented ceratopsid richness, with four sympatric centrosaurine taxa and one chasmosaurine taxon. Phylogenetic results show that Lokiceratops , together with Albertaceratops and Medusaceratops , was part of a clade restricted to a small portion of northern Laramidia approximately 78 million years ago. This group, Albertaceratopsini, was one of multiple centrosaurine clades to undergo geographically restricted radiations, with Nasutuceratopsini restricted to the south and Centrosaurini and Pachyrostra restricted to the north. High regional endemism in centrosaurs is associated with, and may have been driven by, high speciation rates and diversity, with competition between dinosaurs limiting their geographic range. High speciation rates may in turn have been driven in part by sexual selection or latitudinally uneven climatic and floral gradients. The high endemism seen in centrosaurines and other dinosaurs implies that dinosaur diversity is underestimated and contrasts with the large geographic ranges seen in most extant mammalian megafauna.

The Maestrat Basin, in the Iberian Range, has proved to be a key point for the study of the hadrosauriform dinosaurs of the Lower Cretaceous in Europe. The Aliaga, Galve, and Morella sub-basins have all yielded abundant fossils of Mesozoic vertebrates, among which dinosaurs, and especially hadrosauriform styracosternan ornithopods, are the most abundant group from these areas. In this article, we review recent findings in the Maestrat Basin, which suggest that the diversity of this clade during the Barremian-Albian interval was greater than originally thought, providing us with valuable information for the study and understanding of the evolution of these dinosaurs.

The end of the Cretaceous saw the evolution of endemic dinosaur faunas on different landmasses, driven by continental fragmentation. Understanding the evolution of these biogeographic patterns is important for understanding the evolution of Mesozoic ecosystems. However, the faunas of the southern land masses remain understudied relative to the intensively sampled dinosaur faunas of western North America and Asia. In particular, the latest Cretaceous of Africa remains largely unknown, with only a handful of taxa reported so far, including titanosaurian sauropods, the lambeosaurine Ajnabia odysseus, and the large abelisaurid theropod Chenanisaurus barbaricus. We report two new abelisaurid fossils from the upper Maastrichtian phosphates of the Ouled Abdoun Basin, in northern Morocco. The first is the tibia of a medium-sized abelisaurid from Sidi Chennane, with an estimated length of ~5 m. The tibia has a strongly hooked cnemial crest resembling that of the South American Quilmesaurus and Aucasaurus. The highly rugose bone texture suggest the animal was mature, rather than a juvenile of the larger Chenanisaurus. The second is a small right second metatarsal from Sidi Daoui,. The metatarsal measures 190 mm in length, suggesting a small animal, ~2.6 m in length. The metatarsal shows strong mediolateral compression, a feature present in noasaurids and some early abelisaurids, but absent in most Late Cretaceous abelisaurids. It is distinct from other abelisauroids in the strong constriction and bowing of the shaft in lateral view, and the medial curvature of the bone in anterior view. Bone texture suggests it comes from a mature individual. The small size, gracile proportions and unusual shape of the metatarsal suggest it is not closely related to other latest Cretaceous abelisaurids. The new fossils suggest as many as three abelisaurid taxa coexisted in the late Maastrichtian of Morocco, showing dinosaurs were highly diverse in North Africa prior to the end-Cretaceous mass extinction.
