While you’re cooking and eating, you might as well learn something about muscles. This shot of the fanned-out longus colli dorsalis muscles in a turkey neck was theraison d’etreforthis post, and turned up again with different muscles labeled inone of the recentApatosaurusmaquette review posts...
When I started my palaeo Masters (as it then was) at Portsmouth, I had a very bad habit of writing unnecessary double negatives of the kind the Sir Humphrey Appleby might use. Instead of saying “Taxon X resembles taxon Y”, I would say “is not dissimilar to”. I did this all the ...
The objective of this article is to introduce the concept Neuro-Cranio-Vertebral Syndrome (NCVS) to define the set of clinical and imaging manifestations that affect the nervous system, the skull and the spine in the form of known diseases like Arnold-Chiari Syndrome Type I, Idiopathic Syringomy...

Bottom front corner bumped, pages a little browned as usual, else near fine in the near fine printed acetate jacket with a tiny chip and tear at the spine heel, and another minuscule chip at the top flap fold. An exemplary copy overall of a book seldom encountered in nice condition. $...
Assuming the scale bar is supposed to be 1 meter (and not 20 meters or 2.0 meters as it is labeled) yields a summed cervical length of 13.4 meters, a summed dorsal length of 3.39 meters, and a cervical/dorsal ratio of 3.96–all admirably close, off by no more than 4cm across 16+...
Here’s a labeled version. From what I’ve been able to determine (i.e., shark people, please correct me if I’m wrong!), most shark teeth ‘lean’ away from the body midline. Upper teeth of megalodon tend to be very wide, with wide, shallow angles at the base, whereas lower tee...

A simplified diagram of the sauropod respiratory system. What I’ve labeled “air tubes” here are the pneumatic diverticula. Air holes in the vertebrae are also known as pneumatic foramina. The shapes of the lungs and air sacs are speculative, but the minimum extent of the pneumatic diverticul...
on the neural spine instead of the postzygapophyseal ramus. I’ve never seen that possibility discussed anywhere, nor the apparent absence of epipophyses in most titanosaurs. As usual, if you know otherwise, please let me know in the comments!
