Identifying Gecko Species from Lesser Antillean Paleontological Assemblages: Intraspecific Osteological Variation within and Interspecific Osteological Differences betweenThecadactylus rapicauda(Houttuyn, 1782) (Phyllodactylidae) andHemidactylus mabouia(Moreau de Jonnès, 1818) (Gekkonidae)

Squamate remains from fossil-bearing deposits are difficult to identify on the basis of their morphology, because their modern relatives lack osteological description. In addition, intraspecific morphological variability of modern taxa is mostly understudied, making taxonomic identification of subfossil bones even more difficult. The aim of this study was to investigate osteological differences between two sympatric gecko species, Thecadactylus...
