The musculature and skeleton of the pelvic fin of the crocodile shark, Pseudocarcharias kamoharai (Matsubara, 1936) (Elasmobranchii: Lamniformes): Morphology and sexual dimorphism

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This work brings new information on the sexual characteristics of the crocodile shark (Pseudocarcharias kamoharai) exploring the pelvic fin musculature, as well as the siphon sac and the musculature and skeleton of the clasper. Our paper is the first to point out clearly the sexual dimorphism related exclusively to the pelvic fin musculature in males ...

Early evolution of the gular musculature and its innervation in ray‐finned fishes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Gular muscles are an important but often overlooked component of cranial anatomy in bony fishes. They are located on the ventral surface of the head and are derived from the mandibular and hyoid arches. We present a comprehensive review of the gular musculature and its innervation across early diverging actinopterygian lineages. By integrating

Oldest well‐preserved euprimate petrosal, from the early Eocene of India (Vastan Lignite Mine, Gujarat)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An exquisitely preserved, isolated partial petrosal with associated fragmentary stapes is described from the Vastan Lignite Mine (Gujarat, India), dated to the early Eocene (~54.5 Ma). Several anatomical traits (e.g., large petrosal plate; posterolateral entry of the internal carotid artery to the tympanic cavity; bony tubes surrounding the ...

Elliptic Fourier analysis as a tool for the taxonomic identification of isolated theropod pedal phalanges

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of Upper Cretaceous deposits in North America have provided invaluable insights into the continental ecosystems of this time. Theropod (Saurischia, Dinosauria) pedal phalanges are commonplace in these deposits but can be difficult to identify at a finer taxonomic resolution.
