Absence of suction feeding ichthyosaurs and its implications for triassic mesopelagic paleoecology.
Mesozoic marine reptiles and modern marine mammals are often considered ecological analogs, but the extent of their similarity is largely unknown. Particularly important is the presence/absence of deep-diving suction feeders among Mesozoic marine reptiles because this would indicate the establishmen...
