Ontogeny of the skull of the Black Caiman (Melanosuchus niger) (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae)
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2019 We describe the formation of the chondrocranium and the ossification pattern of the skull of the Black Caiman (Melanosuchus niger (Spix, 1825)). The embryos were cleared and double-stained with Alizarin Red S and Alcian Blue 8GX. Additionally, they were visualized by histological hematoxylin and eosin staining and computed tomography imaging.

Structure and evolution of the embryonic cartilaginous skull of crocodilians [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe evolution of skull diversity in Crocodylia is rather well documented, but the developmental foundation of their cranial architecture remains poorly understood. Here, we present the first three-dimensional reconstruction of the embryonic cartilaginous
