How to build a dinosaur: Musculoskeletal modeling and simulation of locomotor biomechanics in extinct animals (2020, background): “…to determine what the answer could not have been, and thereby rule out impossible and implausible solutions; what remains of the solution space after all tests have been conducted remains the realm of plausibility, subject to future testing (Blob 2001; Gatesy et al. 2009; Nyakatura et al. 2019).”
BONE HISTOLOGY AND GROWTH PATTERNS OF SOME NONMAMMALIAN THERAPSIDS (2004, unknown): “…and their taxonomy, osteology, and functional morphology are well established (e.g., Boonstra 1964; Kemp, 1969, 1982; Jenkins, 1971; Hopson and Barghusen 1986; Rowe, 1988; King, 1988; Sigogneau-Russell, 1989; Allin and Hopson, 1992; Crompton, 1995; Sidor and Hopson, 1998; Ray, 2000; Blob 2001).”
Evolutionary Patterns Among Permo-Triassic Therapsids* (2001, background): “…supratemporal (Figure 2) anterior coronoid] foreshadows the drastically reduced complement of skull bones characteristic ofmammals (Sidor 2001), and the acquisition of an inflected femoral head has been thought o signal a more upright hindlimb posture in this group (Kemp 1978; Blob 1998, 2001).”
