Endocranial morphology of the primitive nodosaurid dinosaur Pawpawsaurus campbelli from the Early Cretaceous of North America
(Public Library of Science, 2016-03)
Background: Ankylosaurs are one of the least explored clades of dinosaurs regarding endocranial anatomy, with few available descriptions of braincase anatomy and even less information on brain and inner ear morphologies. ...
Re-description of the cranio-mandibular anatomy of Notosuchus terrestris (Crocodyliformes, Mesoeucrocodylia) from the Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2017-09)
Notosuchus terrestris was the first notosuchian described worldwide and the most abundant crocodyliform species in Gondwana during the Late Cretaceous. Here, the lectotype and more than 60 complete and fragmentary specimens ...
Endocranial morphology of Pygoscelis calderensis (Aves, Spheniscidae) from the Neogene of Chile and remarks on brain morphology in modern Pygoscelis
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-04-16)
The endocranial anatomy of Pygoscelis calderensis, a fossil species from the Bahía Inglesa Formation (Middle Miocene–Pliocene) of Chile, South America, was described through CT scans. Reconstructions of the fossil P. ...
Comparative neurocranial morphology of angelsharks from the south-western Atlantic Ocean (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii, Squatinidae): implications for taxonomy and phylogeny
(WILEY-BLACKWELLMALDEN, 2012)
Neurocrania of three species of angelsharks from the south-western Atlantic Ocean, occurring off south-eastern and southern Brazil, are described. A detailed morphological description is provided of the neurocranium of ...
Endocranial morphology of Pygoscelis calderensis (Aves, Spheniscidae) from the Neogene of Chile and remarks on brain morphology in modern Pygoscelis
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
The endocranial anatomy of Pygoscelis calderensis, a fossil species from the Bahı´a Inglesa Formation (Middle Miocene–
Pliocene) of Chile, South America, was described through CT scans. Reconstructions of the fossil P. ...
Neuroanatomy of Gryposuchus neogaeus (Crocodylia, Gavialoidea): A first integral description of the braincase and endocranial morphological variation in extinct and extant gavialoids
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-02-06)
Morphological studies of the braincase and cranial endocast of fossil crocodylians, especially gavialids, are scarce. Here, we present a detailed description of the neuroanatomy of Gryposuchus neogaeus from the Miocene of ...
Postnatal development of the skull of Dinilysia patagonica (Squamata-stem Serpentes)
(Wiley, 2014-01)
The snake skull represents a profound transformation of the ancestral squamate cranium in which dermal skull roof bones were integrated with the braincase, in a manner convergent with that which occurred during the origin ...
Braincase, neuroanatomy and neck posture of Amargasaurus cazaui (Sauropoda: Dicraeosauridae) and its implications for understanding head posture in sauropods
(Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2014-07-08)
The braincase of Amargasaurus cazaui from the Lower Cretaceous of Argentina represents the only dicraeosaurid sauropod neurocranial material known from South America. It has been CT scanned and three-dimensional digital ...
Neuroanatomy of the ankylosaurid dinosaurs Tarchia teresae and Talarurus plicatospineus from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia, with comments on endocranial variability among ankylosaurs
(Elsevier Science, 2018-04-01)
Ankylosaur braincase and endocranial morphologies are poorly known. Furthermore, cranial endocasts have been described for fewer than ten taxa so far. The complete inner ear morphology is known for only three species – ...
