Three‐dimensional digital analysis of musteloid masticatory muscle architecture
Musteloids span an enormous breadth of dietary modes within a single superfamily. In this study, we utilize digital dissection techniques to reconstruct the internal 3D anatomy of muscles within the musteloid feeding apparatus, and explore how dietary specializations might alter the size, orientation, and curvature of fascicles therein.

Pannonian moluscs from site Osek-2 in Slovenske gorice, Slovenia
Remains of molluscs from a small outcrop at Zgornji Osek (section Osek-2) in Slovenske gorice are described. Some melanopsid gastropods and a bivalve Mytilopsis ornithopsis (Brusina, 1892) were documented.

Abstract Nineteenth century excavations of the Ciply‐Malogne Phosphatic Chalk Formation in Hainaut, Belgium, yielded over 50 partial mosasaur skeletons, the majority of which were referred to the species Mosasaurus lemonnieri Dollo, 1889. In the years since, this taxon has experienced a complicated taxonomic history, and its exceptional hypodigm has ...

Characterization of the Myostracum Layers in Molluscs Reveals a Conservative Shell Structure
Molluscs produce rigid shells to protect their soft bodies from predators and physiochemical violations. The soft tissues attach to shells via the myostracum layer (also called adductor muscle scar, AMS) which bears tremendous contract force and is of ...

Abstract The ‘Palaeogene strata’ of the Itaboraí Basin (upper Paleocene‐lower Eocene), Southeastern Brazil, has preserved 29 genera and almost 50 species of metatherians (about 65% of its mammalian diversity). Among them, Eobrasilia coutoi Simpson, 1947 is the most enigmatic due to its quite fragmentary nature.
