“…The Late Cretaceous, beginning with the Cenomanian, witnesses further expansion eastwards for the pycnodonts as they appear in high diversity and disparity in Lebanon, displaying their highest disparity in their evolutionary history ( Marramá et al, 2016 ; Cawley and Kriwet, 2019 ). They also migrated further south, where pycnodonts occurred in what now is Croatia, Tunisia, Egypt, Ecuador and Brazil ( Agassiz, 1833–1844 ; Weiler, 1935 ; Leonardi, 1966 ; Kriwet, 2001a , c ; Machado and Brito, 2006 ; Taverne et al, 2015 ). This is by far the widest range in the distribution of pycnodonts during the Cretaceous.…”
