First reports on the relationship between the eggshell and bone mineralization in Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia embryos

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Composed of various minerals, the eggshell provides ideal conditions for embryonic development, and understanding its composition and structure is essential for clarifying its relationship with bone formation. This study characterized the structure and mineral profile of the Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia eggshell in relation to ...

Redescription of the cranial morphology of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) from the Pleistocene of Brazil using x‐ray computed tomography

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
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 ...

Cristid obliqua morphology as a correlate of diet in lorisoids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods for elucidating dietary patterns from dental morphology have provided much insight into molar form, function, and diet in extinct taxa. However, many methods rely on the collection of homologous landmarks (like shearing crest lengths), or computationally intensive and nuanced metrics that capture shape (like dental topography). Here, a

Morphological plasticity in the dentition of the lungfish Gnathorhiza from the Permian of Brazil: A population‐level geometric morphometric analysis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental plates are pivotal in the lungfish paleontological record, constituting highly mineralized structures resilient to diagenetic processes. This study provides a detailed description and quantitative shape analysis of 95 newly discovered Gnathorhiza sp. dental plates from the Middle–Late Permian Corumbataí Formation, Brazil.

Cortical bone geometry and static gravitational loads in neosauropod dinosaurs: Implications for biomechanical constraints on terrestrial gigantism

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sauropod dinosaurs achieved unprecedented terrestrial gigantism, raising questions about the biomechanical limits of bone under extreme gravitational loads. We estimated static gravitational pressures (Pg) on appendicular cortical bone in neosauropods, including diplodocoids, brachiosaurids, and titanosaurs.
