The Brain Morphology and Neurobiology in Armored Dinosaur Bissekipelta archibaldi (Ankylosauridae) from the Late Cretaceous of Uzbekistan
Brain morphology and topography of cranial nerves of the armored dinosaur Bissektipelta archibaldi from the late Cretaceous of Uzbekistan are studied using an artificial endocranial cast. We reconstruct for the Bissektian ankylosaur well-developed olfaction, poor hearing and eyesight, good taste sen...

Zusammenfassung: | Brain morphology and topography of cranial nerves of the armored dinosaur
Bissektipelta archibaldi
from the late Cretaceous of Uzbekistan are studied using an artificial endocranial cast. We reconstruct for the Bissektian ankylosaur well-developed olfaction, poor hearing and eyesight, good taste sensitivity, omnivorous diet as well as the ability to filter-feed. The brain structure of
Bissektipelta archibaldi
is archaic compared with other ankylosaurian species. |
