Bone microstructure and growth patterns of early mammals (2006, background): “As far as possible, long bones, particularly femora and humeri, were selected for histological study since these generally preserve the best ontogenetic record of osteo− genesis, particularly when sectioned in the midshaft region of the bone (Chinsamy and Dodson 1995; Chinsamy 2005).”
Growth Record and Histological Variation in the Dorsal Ribs of Camarasaurus sp. (Sauropoda) (2014, background): “As a major event in life history, age at sexual maturity in extinct animals has always been controversial (Curry, 1999; Horner et al., 1999; Sander, 2000; Chinsamy-Turan, 2005; Erickson, 2005; Erickson et al., 2007; Klein and Sander, 2007, 2008).”
Osteohistological Evidence for Determinate Growth in the American Alligator (2011, background): “…growth of reptiles can still be found in recent literature (e.g., Kozlowski, 1996; Olsson and Shine, 1996; Bronikowski and Arnold, 1999; Heino and Kaitala, 1999; Moore et al., 2000; Charnov et al., 2001; Chinsamy-Turan, 2005; Sparkman et al., 2007; Stamps, 2007; TumarkinDeratzian, 2007).”
The Osteology of Chubutisaurus insignis Del Corro, 1975 (Dinosauria: Neosauropoda) from the ‘Middle’ Cretaceous of Central Patagonia, Argentina (2011, methodology): “This bone tissue consists of avascular lamellar bone with annuli and representing an outer circumferential layer (OCL; Chinsamy-Turan, 2005), called also external fundamental system (Fig.”
