Bottom left: results of a principal co-ordinates analysis of astragalus shape data showing the theoretical minimum and maximum shapes in medial (PC1, horizontal axis) and proximal (PC2, vertical axis) view. Colours of the proboscidean families represented match those on the nearest neighbour distance tree shown top right. Bottom right: landmark template for the astragalus (based on specimen MNHN-ZM-AC-1900-187). Blue image at very top left is the cover of the journal Palaeontology.

While >70% of bone strength variation is explained by structure, a new manuscript by Skedros et al shows that collagen fiber orientation (CFO) in deer calcanei also reflects compression vs. tension loading. anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

哺乳類の歯のエナメル質が、最長で4800万年前(始新世)までアミノ酸を保存できる極めて強固なバイオアーカイブであることを明らかに
解析結果、アミノ酸濃度は死後10万年以内に急減するが、その後はエナメル質の結晶構造に守られて安定化
従来の記録(約2400万年前)を大幅に更新するものであり、絶滅動物の系統解明や古生態復元に向けた新たな可能性を提示

Did you know..?
Although extant rhinoceroses have nasal horns (or two), most extinct species did not!
Keratinous horns are not preserved in fossils, but some extinct species are known to have them from the presence of rugosities on the nasal bone.
