A Virtual Phytosaur Endocast and its Implications for Sensory System Evolution in Archosaurs [PDF]

, 2011
Due to the overall morphological similarities between the Triassic archosaurs of the order Phytosauria and extant crocodilians, most studies have assumed that the two shared similar lifestyles.

Segmentation process for the floccular fossa endocast (Corvus corax) using the Materialise Mimics 14.11 3D editing tool.

, 2013
A. a separation contour is chosen on the segmented endocranial cast model based on assessment of which contour best represents the point at which the lateral wall of the cerebellar fossa most sharply projects laterally to form the walls of the floccular ...

Structural extremes in a cretaceous dinosaur.

PLoS ONE, 2007
Fossils of the Early Cretaceous dinosaur, Nigersaurus taqueti, document for the first time the cranial anatomy of a rebbachisaurid sauropod. Its extreme adaptations for herbivory at ground-level challenge current hypotheses regarding feeding function and
