• Biological materials: Functional adaptations and bioinspired designs (2012, background): “Alexander [98] measured the Young’s modulus to be 4 MPa, compared with 0.6–1.8 MPa for elastin and resilin.”
• Osteohistology of the Triassic Archosauromorphs Prolacerta, Proterosuchus, Euparkeria, and Erythrosuchus from the Karoo Basin of South Africa (2011, methodology): “However, Currey and Alexander (1985) found that although shallow water aquatic animals (i.e., non-divers) such as the alligator and manatee revealed low k values (i.e., thick cortices), they also found that larger animals also have low k values (e.g., the sloth bear Melursus ursinus, k = 0.26).”
