Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and evolutionary implications of the earliest (Sinemurian, Early Jurassic) dinosaur eggs and eggshells

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses and their Sinemurian age indicate that the thin egg shell of basal sauropodomorphs represents a major evolutionary innovation at the base of Dinosauria and that the much thicker eggshell of sauropods, theropods, and ornithischian dinosaurs evolved independently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rethinking the nature of fibrolamellar bone: an integrative biological revision of sauropod plexiform bone formation.
Koen Stein,Edina Prondvai +1 more
TL;DR: Novel findings on sauropod bone histology are presented that cast doubt on general palaeohistological concepts concerning the true nature of woven bone in primary cortical bone and its role in the rapid growth and giant body sizes ofsauropod dinosaurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development-based revision of bone tissue classification: the importance of semantics for science
TL;DR: A new approach of bone tissue classification and description that is congruent with the current understanding of bone as a living tissue, emphasizing its developmental aspects is suggested, namely ‘woven-parallel complex’.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny, Histology and Inferred Body Size Evolution in a New Rhabdodontid Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Hungary
TL;DR: Rhabdodontid remains from the Santonian of western Hungary provide evidence for a new, small-bodied form, which is assigned to Mochlodon vorosi n.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life History of Rhamphorhynchus Inferred from Bone Histology and the Diversity of Pterosaurian Growth Strategies
TL;DR: The initial rapid growth phase early in Rhamphorhynchus ontogeny supports the non-volant nature of its hatchlings, and refutes the widely accepted ‘superprecocial hatchling’ hypothesis.
