| Bagaceratops indet. | Not given | MPC-D 100/551B | Mongolian Palaeontological Center | Middle Campanian | Djadokhta Formation | Mongolia | Crouched individual that was scavenged after death by invertebrates. |
| Protoceratops andrewsi | Fighting Dinosaurs | MPC-D 100/512 | Mongolian Palaeontological Center | Middle Campanian | Djadokhta Formation | Mongolia | Preserves Protoceratops andrewsi locked in combat with a Velociraptor mongoliensis. |
| Protoceratops andrewsi | Fox site Protoceratops | Not given | Not given | Middle Campanian | Djadokhta Formation | Mongolia | Crouched individual that was extensively scavenged after death by invertebrates. |
| Protoceratops andrewsi | Not given | MPC-D 100/526 | Mongolian Palaeontological Center | Middle Campanian | Djadokhta Formation | Mongolia | Group of four juveniles buried alive by a strong sand-bearing event. Scavenging traces are present among individuals. |
| Protoceratops andrewsi | Not given | MPC-D 100/534 | Mongolian Palaeontological Center | Middle Campanian | Djadokhta Formation | Mongolia | Two sub-adults buried alive by a strong sand-bearing event. Scavenging traces are present among individuals. |
| Protoceratops andrewsi | Standing Protoceratops | Not given | Not given | Middle Campanian | Djadokhta Formation | Mongolia | An individual preserved in an upright position, possibly product of burrowing behavior. |

## Ornithopods
### Hadrosaurs

| Taxon | Nickname | Catalogue Number | Institution | Age | Unit | Country | Description and Taphonomic History |
| Brachylophosaurus canadensis | Leonardo | JRF 115H | Judith River Foundation | Middle Campanian | Judith River Formation | United States | Exceptionally preserved individual that was rapidly covered with sediment after death. |
| Edmontosaurus annectens | Trachodon mummy | AMNH 5060 | American Museum of Natural History | Late Maastrichtian | Lance Formation | United States | Well-preserved individual lying on its back with flexed limbs. After dehydration, the carcass likely was shortly buried by sediments transported by a river resulting in excellent preservation. |
| Edmontosaurus annectens | Senckenberg mummy | SMF R 4036 | Senckenberg Museum | Late Maastrichtian | Lance Formation | United States | Individual preserved in a flexed posture. May have been quickly buried by sediments allowing exceptional preservation. |
| Edmontosaurus sp. | Dakota mummy | NDGS 2000 | North Dakota Geological Survey | Late Maastrichtian | Hell Creek Formation | United States | Individual preserved with extreme detail. The carcass was pierced by scavenging predators, allowing the release of gases, fluids, and microbes, allowing the dissecation and durability of soft tissues that persisted through weeks to months prior to burial and fossilization. |
| Hadrosauridae indet. | Lizzie | 2000 P-02 | University of Alaska Museum | Middle Turonian | Matanuska Formation | United States | Partial remains of a juvenile. After death, the carcass was washed out to sea and sank to the seafloor where it got buried. |
| Saurolophus angustirostris | Not given | MPC-D 100/764 | Mongolian Palaeontological Center | Late Campanian | Nemegt Formation | Mongolia | Block of partially articulated juveniles. After an unknown case of death, the individuals decomposed during a wet summer season when they got buried by sediments transported by a river channel. |

## Theropods
