The soft tissue stuff seems fine, following Hieronymus et al. (for centrosaurines) and Carr et al. (for Daspletosaurus). Not personally a big fan of the Oliveira illustrations; in particular, Pycnonemosaurus looks like a cartoon. I haven't gotten to the behavior section yet. I do like that Delcourt is actually discussing paleobiology and functional morphology, because it seems like publications regarding those basic tenants of paleontology are becoming increasingly rare.<br /><br />I dislike the clade name Etrigansauria for a different reason: I assume he chose this name because Etrigan has horns, but Ceratosaurus and Carnotaurus are the only horned etrigansaurians (unless I'm forgetting someone). There are more widespread features that distinguish the group, like gnarly-looking heads and bulldog faces. I suppose Lockjawsauria doesn't exactly roll off the tongue but it would be more fitting...Zachary Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035947146927565746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248412803814730250.post-4893363296883294212018-06-28T00:37:05.393-07:002018-06-28T00:37:05.393-07:00Left a link to this post as an annotation on the p...Left a link to this post as an annotation on the paper too, nice work! :) https://via.hypothes.is/https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-28154-xprotohedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277111567604092287noreply@blogger.com
