Skull Sutures and Cranial Mechanics in the Permian Reptile Captorhinus aguti and the Evolution of the Temporal Region in Early Amniotes
While most early limbed vertebrates possessed a fully-roofed dermatocranium in their
temporal skull region, temporal fenestrae and excavations evolved independently at least …

Computed tomographic analysis of the cranium of the early Permian recumbirostran 'microsaur' Euryodus dalyae reveals new details of the braincase and mandible
Recumbirostran 'microsaurs' are a clade of Palaeozoic tetrapods that possess numerous

The internal cranial morphology of an armoured dinosaur Euoplocephalus corroborated by X‐ray computed tomographic reconstruction
T Miyashita, VM Arbour, LM Witmer… - Journal of …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Internal cranial anatomy is a challenging area to study in fossilized skulls because of small
sample sizes and varied post‐mortem preservational alterations. This difficulty has led to the …
