The use of extruded finite-element models as a novel alternative to tomography-based models: a case study using early mammal jaws.
Nuria Melisa Morales-García,Thomas D. Burgess,Jennifer J. Hill,Pamela G. Gill,Emily J. Rayfield +4 more
TL;DR: Extruded FE models constitute a viable alternative to the use of tomography-based 3D models, particularly in relatively flat bones, in Morganucodon and Kuehneotherium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jaw shape and mechanical advantage are indicative of diet in Mesozoic mammals.
Nuria Melisa Morales-García,Pamela G. Gill,Pamela G. Gill,Christine M. Janis,Christine M. Janis,Emily J. Rayfield +5 more
TL;DR: Morales-Garcia et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the relationship between the masseter (MAM) and temporalis (MAT) muscles in 70 extant and 45 extinct mammals spanning the Late Triassic-Late Cretaceous.

Victor M. Bravo-Cuevas,Nuria Melisa Morales-García,Christian R. Barrón-Ortiz,Jessica M. Theodor,Miguel Ángel Cabral-Perdomo +4 more
TL;DR: The first reported occurrence of canid coprolites from the late Pleistocene of central Mexico was reported in this paper, which consists of five associated coprolite recovered from Quaternary deposits that crop out in southeastern Hidalgo, central Mexico.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Neogene Savannas of North America : A Retrospective Analysis on Artiodactyl Faunas
TL;DR: The taxonomic and ecomorphological diversity of the Serengeti ruminant fauna is statistically comparable to those North American paleofaunas occurring during or immediately after the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
