Cranial ontogeny and neuroanatomy of Dryosaurus elderae (Dinosauria: Ornithopoda) from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation (Dinosaur National Monument, Utah, USA): new paleobiologic and phylogenetic implications from microcomputed tomography scanning
Abstract
Newly generated 3D digital models of endocranial structures in a growth series of Dryosaurus elderae reveal novel aspects of basal ornithopod neuroanatomy and ontogenetic trajectories that hold behavioral and phylogenetic implications.
