Kellner's scientific achievements include the description of more than thirty
species, of which
Santanaraptor placidus (1996, 1999) is among the best examples of soft tissue preservation, including blood vessels and muscle fibers, reported in any
dinosaur. The pterosaur
Thalassodromeus sethi, which Kellner described in 2002 with his colleague Diogenes de Almeida Campos, allowed for the establishment of a new hypothesis regarding the use of the head crest in body temperature regulation of pterosaurs. A complete list of new species described and named by Kellner, sometimes in cooperation with other researchers, includes: dinosaur
