• New information on Nqwebasaurus thwazi, a coelurosaurian theropod from the Early Cretaceous Kirkwood Formation in South Africa (2012, background): “, 2008]); pedal phalanges of digit IV anteroposteriorly short with proximal and distal articular surfaces extremely close to each other (also known in Ceratosauria [Carrano and Sampson, 2008], Tyrannosaurus rex [Brochu, 2003], Tarbosaurus bataar [Maleev, 1974], Avimimus portentosus [Vickers-Rich et ”
• Splendid and Seldom Isolated: The Paleobiogeography of Patagonia (2013, background): “…a recent phylogenetic treatment of Ceratosauria could neither confirm nor reject the biogeographic signal within abelisaurids or noasaurids, owing to insufficient data and the consequent lack of well-supported clades endemic to South America or other Gondwanan landmasses (Carrano & Sampson 2008).”
• A Review of Dromaeosaurid Systematics and Paravian Phylogeny (2012, background): “These include ceratosaur monophyly and Coelophysoidea monophyly (Carrano et al., 2002; Carrano and Sampson, 2008; Rauhut, 2003; Smith et al., 2007).”
• A juvenile specimen of a new coelurosaur (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Middle–Late Jurassic Shishugou Formation of Xinjiang, People's Republic of China (2014, background): “The distal end of metatarsal IV is mediolaterally much narrower than the ends of metatarsal II and metatarsal III, as in ceratosaurs (Carrano & Sampson 2008) and some ornithomimosaurs (e.g. Struthiomimus: Osborn 1916; Garudimimus: IGM 100/13–07–7).”
• The origin and early radiation of dinosaurs (2010, background): “However, Carrano and Sampson (2008) instead argued that this taxon is the most basal ceratosaur, concordant with its stratigraphic position as the oldest unequivocal fossil of Ceratosauria.”
• The phylogeny of Tetanurae (Dinosauria: Theropoda) (2012, methodology): “Berivotra, Mahajanga Basin, Mahajanga, Madagascar; Anembalemba Member, Maevarano Formation; Maastrichtian, Late Cretaceous (Carrano et al. 2002).”
• Late Cretaceous bioconnections between Indo‐Madagascar and Antarctica: refutation of the Gunnerus Ridge causeway hypothesis (2011, background): “Carrano & Sampson (2008) found the Malagasy form Masiakasaurus (Maastrichtian) and the Indian form Laevisuchus (Maastrichtian) to be part of an unresolved pentachotomous clade that includes the Argentinean Noasaurus (Maastrichtian) and Velocisaurus (Coniacian), and the French Genusaurus (Albian).”
