• Cranial Osteology of a Juvenile Specimen of Tarbosaurus bataar (Theropoda, Tyrannosauridae) from the Nemegt Formation (Upper Cretaceous) of Bugin Tsav, Mongolia (2011, background): “The caudal part of the frontal in MPC-D 107/7 is rounded dorsally, and the rostral part of the supratemporal fossa extends onto it.”
• Cranial anatomy of tyrannosaurid dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada (2003, background): “It can be distinguished most easily from ma− ture specimens of Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus by its lack of a suborbital process on the postorbitals (Currie et al. 2003).”
• Aspects of comparative cranial mechanics in the theropod dinosaurs Coelophysis, Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus (2005, background): “Again, in contrast, the prefrontals of Tyrannosaurus are extremely reduced in size (Hurum & Sabath, 2003), possibly as an adaptation to increase stability and reduce intracranial weakness in the heavily stressed nasal-lacrimalfrontal region.”
• The Osteology of Alioramus, A Gracile and Long-Snouted Tyrannosaurid (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia (2012, background): “Palatine pneumaticity is typical of tyrannosaurids (e.g., Molnar, 1991; Brochu, 2003; Currie, 2003a; Hurum and Sabath, 2003).”
• The distribution of dental features in non-avian theropod dinosaurs: Taxonomic potential, degree of homoplasy, and major evolutionary trends (2019, background): “A significant difference between mesial and distal denticles has for instance been observed in the transitional dentition (i.e., teeth at the transition between the mesial and lateral dentition) of an immature specimen of Daspletosaurus (TMP 1994.143.01), the premaxillary, maxillary and dentary dent”
• Skull structure and evolution in tyrannosaurid dinosaurs (2003, methodology): “This paper is based mostly on recent studies of the skull anatomy of North American tyrannosaurids (Currie 2003), and of Asian tyrannosaurids (Hurum and Sabath 2003); more detailed anatomical data are given in these two papers.”
