E. Buffetaut, David Martill, F. Escuillie

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A remarkable specimen has been discovered of an Early Cretaceous pterosaur that has a tooth embedded in one of its cervical vertebrae: the tooth has been identified as one from a spinosaurid theropod dinosaur. This fossil is direct evidence that spinosaurs included items other than fish in their diet.
