Abstract
In this study, the evolution of the long bones in a group of basal synapsids was analysed, belonging to the caseids (Synapsida, Caseasauria, Caseidae), a crucial Palaeozoic group of terrestrial vertebrates. During their evolutionary history, caseids transitioned from small faunivorous tetrapods such as Eocasea martini (reaching ~20 cm total length), to gigantic herbivores such as Cotylorhynchus hancocki (reaching almost 7 m in length). In this...
