The distribution of dental features in non-avian theropod dinosaurs: Taxonomic potential, degree of homoplasy, and major evolutionary trends (2019, background): “…were carnivorous, feeding on an array of small, medium and possibly large-sized prey items such as fish, lizards, birds, theropods, ornithischians and mammals (e.g., Ostrom, 1978; Currie and Chen, 2001; Hwang et al., 2004; Peyer, 2006; Dal Sasso and Maganuco, 2011; Xing et al., 2012).”
