Peer Review #2 of "New insights into the cranial osteology of the Early Cretaceous paracryptodiran turtle Lakotemys australodakotensis (v0.2)"

Опубликована: Апрель 12, 2022

Lakotemys australodakotensis is an Early Cretaceous paracryptodire known from two shells and a skull the Lakota Formation of South Dakota, USA.Along with Arundelemys dardeni poorly Trinitichelys hiatti, generally retrieved as early branching baenid, but more insights into cranial anatomy these taxa needed to obtain better understanding paracryptodiran diversity evolution.Here, we describe using micro-computed tomography provide anatomical basis for future phylogenetic analyses that will be investigate precisely intrarelationships Paracryptodira.Preliminary comparisons reveal very similar Aptian-Albian basal baenid dardeni, both exhibit remarkable combination derived characters found in baenodds non-baenid paracryptodires, particularly Pleurosternidae, only date possess canal palatine artery.

Peer Review #2 of "Cranial osteology, taxonomic reassessment, and phylogenetic relationships of the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) turtle Trinitichelys hiatti (Paracryptodira) (v0.2)"

Опубликована: Ноя. 2, 2022

We describe the skull of Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) baenid turtle Trinitichelys hiatti using micro-computed tomography to provide new insights into cranial anatomy basal baenids and evolution paracryptodires.We show that validity versus Arundelemys dardeni still holds true, most known for which material is share an intriguing combination features are typical either Pleurosternidae or Baenidae, carotid system intermediate pleurosternids more advanced baenids.Our expanded phylogenetic analysis confirms traditional placement dardeni, Lakotemys australodakotensis, as baenids, retrieves Helochelydridae along stem Baenoidea, but recovers Dinochelys whitei, Glyptops ornatus, Dorsetochelys typocardium, Uluops uluops branching Paracryptodira.
