The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 12, Page 3717-3781, December 2024.Abstract Thescelosaurines are a group of early diverging, ornithischian dinosaurs notable for their conservative bauplans and mosaic of primitive features. Although abundant within the latest Cretaceous ecosystems of North America, their record is poor to absent in earlier assemblages, leaving a large gap in our understanding of their evolution ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2304-2337, December 2024.ABSTRACT Turbinals are bony or cartilaginous structures that are present in the nasal cavity of most tetrapods. They are involved in key functions such as olfaction, heat, and moisture conservation, as well as protection of the respiratory tract. Despite recent studies that challenged long‐standing hypotheses about their physiological and genomic ...

DICYNODONT JAW MECHANISMS RECONSIDERED: THE KANNEMEYERIA (ANOMODONTIA THERAPSIDA) MASTICATORY CYCLE
Publicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2015 The unique feature of the dicynodont masticatory apparatus is the double-convex jaw articulation, which permitted free antero-posterior movement. Since Crompton and Hotton's demonstration of the jaw articulation, most subsequent work has argued either ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 11, Page 3437-3505, November 2024.Abstract The humerus is central for locomotion in turtles as quadrupedal animals. Osteological variation across testudine clades remains poorly documented. Here, we systematically describe the humerus anatomy for all major extant turtle clades based on 38 species representing the phylogenetic and ecological diversity of crown turtles.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 1559-1593, April 2024.Abstract The complex constructions of land vertebrate skulls have inspired a number of functional analyses. In the present study, we provide a basic view on skull biomechanics and offer a framework for more general observations using advanced modeling approaches in the future.

A new vertebrate biozone at the base of the Beaufort Group, Karoo sequence (South Africa) [PDF]
, 1990 A new vertebrate biozone at the base of the Beaufort Group has been identified. This biozone is the oldest vertebrate biozone of the Beaufort Group and contains fossils of various therapsid genera which are more primitive than previously known related ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 974-1000, April 2024.Abstract Our knowledge of the diversity and evolution of South American Triassic pseudosuchians has greatly improved in the past 15 years, due to new discoveries, but also to the revision of several historically important specimens. One of the earliest descriptions of pseudosuchians from the Triassic of Brazil stems from the classic work of Huene from ...
