and Fechner, 2005). The quadrate, for instance, is  preserved in  several embryos and juvenile specimens belonging to many clades of  theropods such as the Tyrannosauridae (Carr, 1999), Compsognathidae (Dal Sasso and Maganuco, 2011), Therizinosauroidea (Kúndrat et al., 2007), Oviraptoridae (Norell et al., 1994; Norell et al., 2001; Weishampel et al., 2008) and Troodontidae (Varrichio et al., 2002) but very little is usually said about the anatomy of this bone and no one has ever investigated ontogenetical variation in the nonavian theropod quadrate. The discovery of two quadrates belonging to embryos of the sinraptorid Lourinhanosaurus antunesi from Portugal and ﬁve isolated quadrates pertaining to juvenile, subadult and adult specimens of Spinosauridae from Morocco ﬁlls this gap and allows some ontogenetic information to be drawn for this bone in these two speciﬁc clades of Theropoda.&lt;br /&gt;
