A new look at ichthyosaur long bone microanatomy and histology: implications for their adaptation to an aquatic life.
<h4>Background</h4>Ichthyosaurs are Mesozoic reptiles considered as active swimmers highly adapted to a fully open-marine life. They display a wide range of morphologies illustrating diverse ecological grades. Data concerning their bone microanatomical and histological features are rathe...
