TL;DR: The recognition of this diverse ornithopod fauna within southern Utah provides a rare opportunity in North America to examine the transition from more basal iguanodontians to those taxa within Hadrosauridae, and these sediments provide a testing ground for biogeographic hypotheses of basal Ornithopods.

The Effect of Patellar Surface Morphology on Subchondral Bone Alignment When Matching Patellar Osteochondral Allografts to the Central Ridge of the Patella
TL;DR: While unmatched Wiberg patellar osteochondral allograft implantation did not result in significantly different subchondral bone surface height deviations, there was a significant difference in the circumferential subchONDral bone step-off height in the lateral quadrant.

TL;DR: A collaborative palaeontology survey conducted by the Utah Museum of Natural History and the Bureau of Land Management in the Upper Cretaceous Kaiparowits Formation, in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, southern Utah, has yielded remains of at least three new ceratopsid dinosaur taxa from multiple localities as discussed by the authors.
