• A plywood structure in the shell of fossil and living soft-shelled turtles (Trionychidae) and its evolutionary implications (2007, methodology): “All individual bony elements were processed into sections approximately 80 mm thin or less, using standard procedures for petrographic thin sectioning as described, for example, by Scheyer and Sander (2004). The bone microstructure (micro-scale) of the thin sections was then studied with a standard ”
