The anatomy of the palate in Early Triassic Chaohusaurus brevifemoralis (Reptilia: Ichthyosauriformes) based on digital reconstruction
The palatal anatomy of ichthyosauriforms remains largely unknown.Here, the complete palate of the early-branching ichthyosauriform Chaohusaurus brevifemoralis is reconstructed and described for the first time with the deroyal finger spring assistance of high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning on the basis of the three-dimensionally
