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

REVISTA 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.
