The Early Evolution of the Perissodactyla [PDF]
Perissodactyls arose from phenacodontid condylarths in the late Paleocene, in a major adaptive shift involving two functional complexes: specialization of the limbs for running, including a radical remodelling of the ankle joint that restricted lateral movement, and a change in molar cusp pattern and jaw musculature that increased transverse shear ...

Craniogenetic studies in Sus scrofa: With emphasis on the ‘orbitosphenoid’ problem
Abstract The orbitosphenoid is a skeletal element of the endocranium of extant mammals. However, it has also been described in many of their fossil ancestors. Craniogenetic studies show that it is composed of two types of bone: first, the cartilaginous ala orbitalis and parts of the trabecular plate are transformed by endochondral ossification; second,
