🚨Research alert! A new study led by scientists at the Museum and the Chinese Academy of Sciences suggests that the evolution of the modern mammalian jaw—which makes exceptional hearing and chewing possible for a wide range of mammals, including humans—is more complex than previously thought.

The team used high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scanning to look at two fossil specimens from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology: Polistodon chuannanensi, an opossum-sized animal that had a “horn” it likely used for digging, and a new species they described in the process, Camurocondylus lufengensis, a squirrel-sized animal that lived in the early Jurassic. The researchers found new jaw formations in both animals. These discoveries increase the diversity of jaw joints in mammalian evolution and expand researchers’ understanding of the evolutionary sequence of key mammalian characteristics that are critical for understanding how mammals process their food and hear airborne sounds.

“The evolution of the mammalian jaw joint is one of the most intriguing and incomplete chapters in vertebrate history, with key transitions obscured by gaps in the fossil record,” said Museum Paleontology Division Curator Jin Meng, one of the corresponding authors on the new Nature study, which was published this week.

[ID: two photos of a porcelain triceratops from different angles. The triceratops is very small and has blue floral designs on its crown and body. Its three horns are painted with gold luster.]

While most titanosaurs lost their thumb claws it appears that they maybe compensated with large scales on their feet, similar to what you see in some turtles.
