Eucynodont teeth from the Late Triassic of Krasiejów, Southern Poland

2021

Recent discoveries of Mammaliamorph teeth in the Keuper of southern Poland have extended the global record of eucynodonts in the Late Triassic and revealed a significant diversity of the group at that time. Here,we expand on this record with the description of new cynodont postcanine teeth from the Krasiejów bone bed. They show the dental morphology typical for Dromatheriidae, with a single root and crown without cingulum. We assigned them to Polonodon woznikensis, described from Woźniki. None of the 38 teeth from Krasiejów and Woźniki exhibit signs of serious wear, potentially indicating a very fast rate of tooth replacement in Polonodon.

Disconnecting bones within the jaw-otic network modules underlies mammalian middle ear evolution

2019

The origin of the mammalian middle ear ossicles from the craniomandibular articulation of their synapsid ancestors is a key event in the evolution of vertebrates. The richness of the fossil record and the multitude of developmental studies have provided a stepwise reconstruction of this evolutionary innovation, highlighting the homology between the quadrate, articular, pre-articular and angular bones of early synapsids with the incus, malleus, gonial and ectotympanic bones of derived mammals, respectively. There are several aspects involved in this functional exaptation: (i) an increase of the masticatory musculature; (ii) the separation of the quadrate bone from the cranium; and (iii) the …

Les reptiles et synapsides fossiles de Bourgogne.

2012

65 pages; National audience; L'inventaire actuel des Amniotes (Synapsida et Reptiles) fossiles à partir des collections bourguignonnes est présenté dans l'ordre stratigraphique. Il montre que les Synapsida (Reptiles Mammaliens) sont représentés au Carbonifère et au Permien inférieur par quelques squelettes. Dans le reste du Permien (moyen ou moyen à supérieur) ) puis au Trias, c'est la palichnofaune qui prend le relai avec quelques empreintes de pas permiennes attribuées à des Capthorinomorpha et avec celles beaucoup plus nombreuses du Trias laissées par une faune très variée. Celle-ci comportait le groupe souche des Crurotarsi d'où sont issus les Crocodylomorpha et les Dinosauria via les D…
