• New materials of Masiakasaurus knopfleri Sampson, Carrano, and Forster, 2001, and implications for the morphology of the Noasauridae (Theropoda: Ceratosauria) (2011, background): “In this light, we also reinterpret the similar morphology previously observed in other abelisauroids (Carnotaurus, Aucasaurus) as evidence of caudal ribs, and suggest that the absence of these structures in Majungasaurus (O’Connor, 2007) is due to the subadult nature of many individuals of this taxo”
