C and T refer to the costal and terrestrial paleoenvironmental categories, respectively, while taxa are indicated by Abeli. (Abelisauridae), Carch. (Carcharodontosauridae), and Spino. (Spinosauridae). On the other hand, taphonomic categories are indicated by their respective numbers except for those occurrences lacking data about the nature of their fossil record, whose taphonomic categories were considered as not specified. Within brackets is the total number of occurrences of each taxon or period.
