Biomechanical and physiological influences on the osteohistological deposition of Anhangueria (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea)

open access: yesREVISTA BRASILEIRA DE PALEONTOLOGIA, 2015
The study of bone microstructure preserved in fossils provides substantial information about physiology, growth gradients and strategies, and some ecological considerations. Paleohistology is a useful tool for understanding the biological mechanisms of extinct animals. Presented here is the microstructure characterization of two Anhangueria pterosaurs.
