Morphology of shells from viable and nonviable eggs of the chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis)

Journal of Morphology, 1994
AbstractThe morphology of eggshells from hatched eggs of captive Chinese alligators (Alligator sinensis) was compared with that of shells from eggs with early embryonic death and with the morphology of eggshells from the American alligator (Alligator mississipiensisis). Pieces of shells were examined in the scanning electron microscope.

Cembrene A and a Congeneric Ketone Isolated from the Paracloacal Glands of the Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis)

Journal of Natural Products, 1997
A diterpene hydrocarbon and diterpene ketone isolated from the paracloacal gland secretions of the Chinese alligator (alligator sinensis) were examined by GC-MS and 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and IR spectroscopy, and identified as 4,8,12-trimethyl-1-(1-methylethenyl)-3,7,11-cyclotetradecatrien e (cembrene A, 1) and its congeneric ketone, 4,8,12-trimethyl-1-(1 ...
