My article 'Determination of muscle strength and function in plesiosaur limbs: finite element structural analyses of Cryptoclidus eurymerus humerus and femur' was one of the top 5 most viewed articles published in @PeerJLife journal in 2022!
I hypothesized that flipper twisting is overlooked in plesiosaurs but probably played an important role in locomotion (review). More evidence was found with the flipper muscle https://t.co/09Mad8smst further test this here is a plesio humerus and femur FEA https://t.co/mi0rZ5FUm2
@paleokrahl We would like to try +-19 Degrees twisting Flippers test as well. By following your paper. Addition to +- 45 Degrees of our experience yesterday . If our Flippers design and build is correct , Flipper twisting angle may closer to your resolute .
