Phylogeny and evolutionary history of the amniote egg
JM Starck, JR Stewart, DG Blackburn - Journal of Morphology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
We review morphological features of the amniote egg and embryos in a comparative
phylogenetic framework, including all major clades of extant vertebrates. We discuss 40 …

The diverse terminology of reptile eggshell microstructure and its effect on phylogenetic comparative analyses
Reptile eggshell ensures water and gas exchange during incubation and plays a key role in
reproductive success. The diversity of reptilian incubation and life history strategies has led …

Synchrotron scanning sheds new light on Lumkuia fuzzi (Therapsida, Cynodontia) from the Middle Triassic of South Africa and its phylogenetic placement
Lumkuia fuzzi is a small non-mammalian cynodont from the Middle Triassic of South Africa. It
has traditionally been phylogenetically identified as a basal Probainognathia, but some …

Multiscale pink-beam microCT imaging at the ESRF-ID17 biomedical beamline
Recent trends in hard X-ray micro-computed tomography (microCT) aim at increasing both
spatial and temporal resolutions. These challenges require intense photon beams. Filtered …

Structure and evolutionary implications of the earliest (Sinemurian, Early Jurassic) dinosaur eggs and eggshells
One of the fossil record's most puzzling features is the absence of preserved eggs or
eggshell for the first third of the known 315 million year history of amniote evolution. Our …

[HTML][HTML] A comparative study of eggshells of Gekkota with morphological, chemical compositional and crystallographic approaches and its evolutionary implications
The Gekkota is an important clade in the evolution of calcified eggshells in that some of its
families lay rigid eggshells like archosaurs. However, the fundamental differences and …

Synchrotron phase-contrast microtomography of coprolites generates novel palaeobiological data
Coprolites (fossil faeces) reveal clues to ancient trophic relations, and contain inclusions
representing organisms that are rarely preserved elsewhere. However, much information is …

Comparative crystallography suggests maniraptoran theropod affinities for latest Cretaceous European 'geckoid'eggshell
Thin fossil eggshell from Upper Cretaceous deposits of Europe, characterized by nodular
ornamentation similar to modern gekkotan eggshell, has mostly been interpreted as …
