My article with Christen D Shelton and @palaeo_prof on Anteosaurus bone histology has been published today in @PeerJLife. Here is the link to the paper https://t.co/5B38QbzhZI #EvolutionaryStudies #Paleontology #Zoology #Histology @BioSciUCT @UCT_news @Iziko_Museums
New @peerj paper led by former @ESEImperial @JonathanRio6 in which we analyse a new phylogenetic dataset for crocodylians; for the first time based on morphology alone we recover Gavialis as more closely related to Tomistoma than to other extant species: https://t.co/2Wszjwu904 https://t.co/uDIn4ZUBmT
Three new juvenile #biarmosuchian skulls from the late Permian of South Africa are described using X-ray micro computed tomography
