Radial porosity profiles: a new bone histological method for comparative developmental analysis of diametric limb bone growth

In fossil tetrapods, limb bone histology is considered the most reliable tool not only for inferring skeletal maturity—a crucial assessment in palaeobiological and evolutionary studies—but also for evaluating the growth dynamics within the ontogenetic window represented by the primary bone cortex. D...
