Osteohistology of the unusually fast‐growing theropod dinosaur Ceratosaurus

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We report the histology of multiple elements attributed to four individuals of Ceratosaurus. We find that the histology and growth models corroborate previous reports of rapid tissue growth in the genus. Abstract Ceratosaurus is a large‐bodied non‐avian theropod dinosaur known from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America and is ...

An anatomical investigation of alkaptonuria: Novel insights into ochronosis of cartilage and bone

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 1053-1074, June 2025.
Examination of an alkaptonuria body highlights the susceptibility of all cartilage types and associated perichondrium to ochronotic pigmentation and the heterogeneity of ochronotic pigment distribution both within and between tissues. In joints, calcified cartilage pigments before non‐calcified cartilage.

Illuminating the dark mess of fibers: Application of circular cross polarized light in unravelling the bone tissue structure of the dermal pectoral girdle of Metoposaurus krasiejowensis

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Circular cross polarized light reveals the fine stucture of dermal bone tissue of a metoposaurid amphibian from the Late Triassic. Top right image shows the looped interwoven fibered bone when illuminated with circular polarized light displaying increased bone matrix intricacy compared to the same region of the bone when visualized with traditional ...

Exploration of the covariation signal between cortical bone and dentine volumes across the upper limb bones and anterior teeth in modern humans and relevance to evolutionary anthropology

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Using microtomographic scans of modern human arm and forearm bones and anterior dentition, we quantified cortical bone and dentine volumes and their topographic distribution. Our results revealed a co‐variation between cortical bone and dentine volumes, suggesting shared factors influencing their postnatal development.

Lungfish‐like antero‐labial tooth addition and amphibian‐like enameloid‐enamel transition in the coronoid of a Devonian stem actinopterygian

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The tooth patterning logic, which cannot be inferred from surface morphology, is revealed by visualizing buried tooth remnants in 3D. The primary teeth are added labially, initially organized in radial rows, which transition into linear rows where the coronoid becomes slender.

Skull morphology and histology indicate the presence of an unexpected buccal soft tissue structure in dinosaurs

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A combined approach of osteology and histology was used to examine the cheek regions of dinosaurs. Strong evidence was found for a soft tissue in this region connecting the zygoma to the mandible, here named the ‘exoparia’. Abstract Unlike mammals, reptiles typically lack large muscles and ligaments that connect the zygoma to the mandible.

Osteohistological analysis of metatarsals reveals new information on pathology and life history of troodontids from the Campanian Dinosaur Park Formation, Alberta, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A histological survey of troodontid metatarsals from the Dinosaur Park Formation (DPF) was conducted, revealing correlates for stresses in the troodontid arctometatarsus and providing the first histological assessment of pathologies for this taxon.
