Increased pliosaurid dental disparity across the Jurassic–Cretaceous transition
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Quantitative analyses indicate that pliosaurids reached their maximal dental disparity during this interval, showing little evidence of turnover associated with the Jurassic–Cretaceous transition.
