Abstract Amphisbaenians (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) are fossorial reptiles with highly specialized cranial morphology, yet their fossil record is frequently limited by fragmentary preservation. This study provides a detailed osteological redescription of the skulls of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti from the Pleistocene of Lagoa Santa ...

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

The posterior petroclinoid fold and petroclival ligament ossification patterns
Background: The skull base ligaments have been extensively studied in the literature due to their clinical and surgical significance. The posterior petroclinoid fold (PPCNF) and petroclival ligament (PCVL) are two adjacent structures that have barely ...

Heterotopic Ossification Revisited
Heterotopic ossification is the abnormal formation of mature lamellar bone within extraskeletal soft tissues where bone does not exist. Heterotopic ossification has been classified into posttraumatic, nontraumatic or neurogenic, and myositis ossificans ...

Hedgehog Signaling in Endochondral Ossification
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling plays crucial roles in the patterning and morphogenesis of various organs within the bodies of vertebrates and insects. Endochondral ossification is one of the notable developmental events in which Hh signaling acts as a master ...

Abstract Brasileodactylus araripensis Kellner, 1984, is a toothed pterosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Romualdo Formation of the Araripe Basin, Brazil. Traditionally regarded as crestless, the species has been central to debates on anhanguerid taxonomy, as most members of the clade possess well‐developed sagittal cranial or dentary crests.

Exploring the generative architecture of intramembranous ossification [PDF]
Dermal bone is the oldest of vertebrate hard tissues; despite its evolutionary and developmental significance, its histogenesis is poorly understood.

Abstract Sequence variations in fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) are associated with craniosynostosis syndromes, disrupting craniofacial development, yet early mandibular alterations remain poorly characterized. This study examined Meckel's cartilage (MC) and mandibular morphology in mouse models of Apert (Fgfr2+/P253R) and Crouzon ...
