Comparative histology of some craniofacial sutures and skull‐base synchondroses in non‐avian dinosaurs and their extant phylogenetic bracket

Sutures and synchondroses, the fibrous and cartilaginous articulations found in the skulls of vertebrates, have been studied for many biological applications at the morphological scale. However, little is known about these articulations at the microscopic scale in non‐mammalian vertebrates, including extant archosaurs (birds and crocodilians). The major goals of this paper were to: (i) document the microstructure of some sutures and...
