The locomotory apparatus and paraxial swimming in fossil and living marine reptiles: comparing Nothosauroidea, Plesiosauria, and Chelonioidea
The terrestrial origins of the diapsid Sauropterygia and Testudines are uncertain, with the latter being highly controversially discussed to this...

Ontogenetic variation in the cranium of Mixosaurus cornalianus, with implications for the evolution of ichthyosaurian cranial development
Relatively complete ontogenetic series are comparatively rare in the vertebrate fossil record. This can create biases in our understanding of...

The non-apodiform Strisores (potoos, nightjars and allied birds) from the early Eocene London Clay of Walton-on-the-Naze
Fossils of the avian clade Strisores (nightjars, swifts and allies) are well represented in some early Eocene localities. These birds were also...
