We identified muscle attachments on the pelvis and hindlimbs and built the musculature in 3D! Based on those 3D muscles and muscle architectural data of crocodylians and lizards we estimated muscle parameters for our musculoskeletal simulations. 5/15

I noticed from the 3rd Dinosaur Revolution episode a handful of generic semi-aquatic crocs. True crocodylians appeared in the Cenomanian, so I wanted to see how many were around before/during/after to see if they were lazily added in the show.

They were not. So many of them...

Way over word count so OUT comes text on difference between & crocodylians and how it relates to position of thalattosuchians. So stupid & complicated but I have to keep explaining it because no-one else ever does [famous Pyrakowski art attached]

The gharial specimens we studied both showed nasal septum deviation, but to very different degrees. Comparing nasal septum thickness in gharials to other crocodylians, it was pretty clear that gharials sacrificed septum width to make room for everything else in their snouts.

New paper on baby crocodile ears!!!🐊👂
Just in time before submitting the thesis. Check it out if you are interested in how the bony labyrinth of the inner ear changes from hatchling to adult crocodylians.
