Foreflipper and hindflipper muscle reconstructions of Cryptoclidus eurymerus in comparison to functional analogues: introduction of a myological mechanism for flipper twisting
Then, the very core of my PhD got published: plesiosaur fore- and hindflipper musculature, reconstructed with the extant phylogenetic bracket and in comparison to recent functional analogues. https://t.co/cS3yzF59gx
That's underwater flight plus bending and twisting.

Also with this piece I tried to show off plesiosaur flipper twisting, something brought to life and supported by @paleokrahl’s recent work on the musculature of Cryptoclidus (read it here https://t.co/sJm9kVD9jI) https://t.co/13TFqbivLb
