X-ray computed microtomography of Megachirella wachtleri [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2018 AbstractUnderstanding the origin and early evolution of squamates has been a considerable challenge given the extremely scarce fossil record of early squamates and their poor degree of preservation. In order to overcome those limitations, we conducted high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) studies on the fossil reptile Megachirella wachtleri ...
