Chondrocranium and skeletal development of Phrynops hilarii (Pleurodira: Chelidae)
Acta Zoologica, 2009 AbstractThe present study represents the first comprehensive contribution to the knowledge of the skeletal development of a pleurodiran turtle, Phrynops hilarii (Pleurodira, Chelidae). The most remarkable features found are: (1) absence of ascending process on pterygoquadrate cartilage; (2) presence of ossification centres for the epiotics; (3) as in ...
