Assessing ontogenetic maturity in extinct saurian reptiles
Morphology forms the most fundamental level of data in vertebrate palaeontology because it
is through interpretations of morphology that taxa are identified, creating the basis for broad …

Whole‐body endothermy: ancient, homologous and widespread among the ancestors of mammals, birds and crocodylians
The whole‐body (tachymetabolic) endothermy seen in modern birds and mammals is long
held to have evolved independently in each group, a reasonable assumption when it was …

[BOOK][B] The microstructure of dinosaur bone
A Chinsamy-Turan - 2005 - press.jhu.edu
For millions of years, clues to the biology of dinosaurs lie locked within the microscopic
structure of their bones. Here one of the world's leading experts on fossil bone …

Anatomy of a mass extinction: sedimentological and taphonomic evidence for drought-induced die-offs at the Permo-Triassic boundary in the main Karoo Basin, South …
The southern part of the Karoo Basin of South Africa contains a near complete stratigraphic
record of the Permo-Triassic boundary (PTB). Isotope-and magneto-stratigraphy confirm that …

Seasonal bone growth and physiology in endotherms shed light on dinosaur physiology
Cyclical growth leaves marks in bone tissue that are in the forefront of discussions about
physiologies of extinct vertebrates. Ectotherms show pronounced annual cycles of growth …

[PDF][PDF] Woven bone overview: structural classification based on its integral role in developmental, repair and pathological bone formation throughout vertebrate groups
F Shapiro, JY Wu - Eur Cell Mater, 2019 - ecmjournal.org
Cortical bone development is characterised by initial formation of woven bone followed by
deposition of lamellar bone on the woven scaffold. This occurs in normal bone formation as …

Assessing a relationship between bone microstructure and growth rate: a fluorescent labelling study in the king penguin chick (Aptenodytes patagonicus)
Microstructure–function relationships remain poorly understood in primary bone tissues. The
relationship between bone growth rate and bone tissue type, although documented in some …

Assessing dinosaur growth patterns: a microscopic revolution
GM Erickson - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2005 - cell.com
Some of the longest standing questions in dinosaur paleontology pertain to their
development. Did dinosaurs grow at slow rates similar to extant reptiles or rapidly similar to …

Growth in small dinosaurs and pterosaurs: the evolution of archosaurian growth strategies
Histological evidence of the bones of pterosaurs and dinosaurs indicates that the typically
large forms of these groups grew at rates more comparable to those of birds and mammals …
