Chemometric analysis of EDXRF measurements from fossil bone

Author: Thomas, Daniel B ; Chinsamy, Anusuya Date: 2011 Bone chemistry is an important source of biological and environmental information. Elemental compositions of archaeological and fossil bone have granted insight into the diets of ancient humans and other animals, as well as informing about ... Read more
Evidence of a therapsid scavenger in the Late Permian Karoo Basin, South Africa

Author: Fordyce, Nicholas ; Smith, Roger ; Chinsamy, Anusuya Date: 2012 Dicynodonts are an extinct group of herbivorous non-mammalian therapsids (‘mammal-like’ reptiles) that are widely known from terrestrial Permo-Triassic strata throughout Pangaea. Dicynodont fossil remains are common within the Late Permian ... Read more
Growth and life habits of the Triassic cynodont Trirachodon, inferred from bone histology

Author: Botha, Jennifer ; Chinsamy, Anusuya Date: 2004 Growth pattern and lifestyle habits of the Triassic non−mammalian cynodont Trirachodon are deduced from bone histol−ogy and cross−sectional geometry. Several skeletal elements of Trirachodon were examined in order to document histological ... Read more
Growth Dynamics of Australia's Polar Dinosaurs

Author: Woodward, Holly N ; Rich, Thomas H ; Chinsamy, Anusuya ; Vickers-Rich, Patricia Date: 2011 Analysis of bone microstructure in ornithopod and theropod dinosaurs from Victoria, Australia, documents ontogenetic changes, providing insight into the dinosaurs' successful habitation of Cretaceous Antarctic environments. Woven-fibered bone ... Read more c b
Histovariability and Palaeobiological Implications of the Bone Histology of the Dromornithid, Genyornis newtoni

Author: Chinsamy, Anusuya ; Worthy, Trevor H Date: 20 May 2021 The bone microstructure of extinct animals provides a host of information about their biology. Although the giant flightless dromornithid, <i>Genyornis newtoni,</i> is reasonably well known from the Pleistocene of Australia (until its extinction ... Read more c b
New Comparative Data on the Long Bone Microstructure of Large Extant and Extinct Flightless Birds

Author: Canoville, Aurore ; Chinsamy, Anusuya ; Angst, Delphine Date: 15 Apr 2022 Here, we investigate whether bone microanatomy can be used to infer the locomotion mode (cursorial vs. <i>graviportal</i>) of large terrestrial birds. We also reexamine, or describe for the first time, the bone histology of several large ... Read more c b
Pathologies in the Early Pliocene phocid seals from Langebaanweg South Africa

Author: Govender, Romala ; Avery, Graham ; Chinsamy, Anusuya Date: 2011 Abundant vertebrate fossils have been recorded from the Early Pliocene locality, Langebaanweg, South Africa. This study documents the pathologies evident in the 5 millionyear-old fossil phocid seal assemblage. Careful anatomical assessment ... Read more
