Osteohistological evidence for terrestrial adaptation and an extended growth period in mekosuchine crocodylians and its potential role in their extinction

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Australasian crocodylian fossil record is dominated by the extinct endemic clade Mekosuchinae, with known members spanning the Eocene‐to‐Holocene. This diverse clade exhibited high morphological disparity, from early members superficially similar to Crocodylus, to more terrestrial forms later in the clade's evolutionary history.

Assessment of intraspecific skull variation in the Campanian baenid turtle Plesiobaena antiqua

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Baenids are freshwater paracryptodiran turtles with a fossil record ranging from the Early Cretaceous to the Eocene. The baenid Plesiobaena antiqua is the most common turtle in the Campanian (Late Cretaceous) Dinosaur Park Formation in Canada, but the apparent intraspecific variation remains poorly understood.

Histological description and bone compactness analysis of fossil (Aldabrachelys sp.) and extant Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) shell bone fragments

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Aldabra Atoll, north of Madagascar and part of the Seychelles Outer Islands, is home to the Aldabra giant tortoise, Aldabrachelys gigantea, the only survivor of several species of giant tortoises that were once widespread on islands across the Western Indian Ocean.
