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 …

Axial skeleton ontogeny in the Parasuchia (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) and its implications for ontogenetic determination in archosaurs
RB Irmis - Journal of vertebrate Paleontology, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
The sequence of neurocentral suture closure is one criterion for the determination of

A reappraisal of the Cretaceous non-avian dinosaur faunas from Australia and New Zealand: evidence for their Gondwanan affinities
It has often been assumed that Australasian Cretaceous dinosaur faunas were for the most
part endemic, but with some Laurasian affinities. In this regard, some Australasian dinosaurs …
