... dongi was described using the nomenclature and modus operandi provided by Hendrickx et al. (2015 c ) . The dentition of Sinraptor was compared with that of theropods with large-sized (CH > 30 mm) ziphodont teeth, including Allosauroidea, Ceratosauria, Dilophosauridae, Megalosauroidea...

...Karl T. Bates; Roger B. J. Benson; Peter L. Falkingham Abstract We investigate whether musculoskeletal anatomy and three-dimensional (3-D) body proportions were modified during the evolution of large (>6000 kg) body size in Allosauroidea (Dinosauria: Theropoda). Three adaptations for maintaining...

... cladistic analyses that place Monolophosaurus in a more derived position within Allosauroidea. We review the Middle Jurassic record of Chinese theropods and compare Monolophosaurus to other Middle Jurassic theropods globally. These comparisons suggest that Monolophosaurus and Chuandongocoelurus formed...

Redescription of the type material of C. tashuikouensis reveals an unusual combination of morphological features that render determination of its systematic position problematic. It possesses anatomical features that have been...

The Portuguese Upper Jurassic fossil record includes mainly medium- to large-sized forms belonging to early-diverging theropod clades, such as Ceratosauria, or basal tetanurans, including Megalosauroidea and Allosauroidea (e.g., Mateus, 1998 ; Pérez-Moreno et al., 1999...

The Kham Phok tibia shows greater similarities with Allosauroidea [ sensu Holtz et al. , 2004 ]. Within that group, it resembles Sinraptor dongi...

... Allosauroidea, Monolophosaurus , and Tyrannosauridae, may have practiced a more crocodile- or lizard-like sociosexual behavior, with high rates of intraspecific (intrasexual?) aggression resulting in frequent and severe bite marks.
