Osteohistology of Late Triassic prozostrodontian cynodonts from Brazil
(PeerJ, 2018-07)
The Prozostrodontia includes a group of Late Triassic-Early Cretaceous eucynodonts plus the clade Mammaliaformes, in which Mammalia is nested. Analysing their growth patterns is thus important for understanding the evolution ...
Osteohistological correlates of muscular attachment in terrestrial and freshwater Testudines
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-06)
Sharpey's fibers are considered the anatomical structures integrated to the muscles. Since these fibers leave marks at the microscopic level, their presence and distribution are used as evidence of muscle attachment in ...
Osteohistological analyses reveal diverse strategies of theropod dinosaur body-size evolution
(The Royal Society, 2020-11-25)
The independent evolution of gigantism among dinosaurs has been a topic of long-standing interest, but it remains unclear if gigantic theropods, the largest bipeds in the fossil record, all achieved massive sizes in the ...
Linderochelys rinconensis (Testudines: Pan-Chelidae) from the Upper Cretaceous of northern Patagonia: New insights from shell bone histology, morphology and diagenetic implications
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-03)
The panchelid turtle Linderochelys rinconensis de la Fuente, Calvo and González Riga, 2007 was described on the basis of several postcranial elements from the Rio Neuquén Subgroup of Loma del Lindero site, near Rincon de ...
Postcranial morphology of the Early Triassic epicynodont Galesaurus planiceps (Owen) from the Karoo Basin, South Africa
(Wiley, 2018-06)
The Early Triassic non-mammaliaform epicynodont Galesaurus planiceps formed an important part of ecosystems following the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction, the greatest mass extinction in Phanerozoic history. Here, we ...
First osteohistological and histotaphonomic approach of Equus occidentalis Leidy, 1865 (Mammalia, Equidae) from the late Pleistocene of Rancho La Brea (California, USA)
(Public Library of Science, 2021-12-28)
Rancho La Brea (California, USA) is the most emblematic Quaternary fossiliferous locality in the world, since both the high number and diversity of the specimens recovered and their excellent preservational quality. In the ...
A new large panchelid turtle (Pleurodira) from the Loncoche Formation (upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian) of the Mendoza Province (Argentina): Morphological, osteohistological studies, and a preliminary phylogenetic analysis
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-01)
A new genus and species of panchelid turtle (Mendozachelys wichmanni gen. et sp. nov.) from the upper Campanian–lower Maastrichtian Loncoche Formation (southern Mendoza Province, Argentina) is described here. This species ...
New remains of the aquatic turtle Hydromedusa casamayorensis (Pleurodira, Chelidae) from the middle Eocene of Patagonia: taxonomic validation and phylogenetic relationships
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018-11)
Twenty-seven new specimens recovered from lower levels of the Sarmiento Formation (Casamayoran SALMA, middle Eocene) in the ‘Cañadón Hondo’ area, Chubut (Argentina), bring new information on the Palaeogene long-necked ...
Osteohistology of Aucasaurus garridoi (Dinosauria, Theropoda, Abelisauridae): inferences on lifestyle and growth strategy
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-04)
Although osteohistology has proven to be useful to discern several palaeobiological traits and systematics in non-avian dinosaurs, the bone microstructure of several groups (e.g., abelisaurid theropods) is still poorly ...
