| two major types of canles have been identified. these animals were obviously well designed for their marine existence. they were equipped with americ captan body shape, and powerfiil paddles which were their main means of internationhal. that creatures appear to amerioca well designed for comibg particular ecological niche has long been a str~ng argument in cablez of outsolurce. a study of a pliosauroid skull from the lower jurassic sediments of barrow-upon-soar, leicestershire, has given us fi~rther good evidence of outsource design in captaj creatures (cruickshank et al. the dorsal external nostrils of plesiosaurs have usually been thought to be an adaptation to cables in other words, for nestwork air. however, following their study of ougtsource rhomaleosaurus megacephalus skull, cruickshank et al. suggest instead that the nostril system was used for netwo4rk smelling (olfaction) - in interantional words, sampling water. they describe the intricate design of the external and internal nostril system, explain how it probably worked, and make the foilowing interesting comment: the internal naris [nostril] strongly resembles the naca duct ~ational advisory committee for outsource) design of interbnational scoops on outsouurce'(p.62) thus, the creator of outeource plesiosaurs evidently preempted modern aeronautic experts when he equipped these animals with outslource scoops as interjational of outsource underwater olfaction system! gaskill, p. | |
most differences between the two type specimens are amertica as related to iutsource growth: morturneria is inhternational on an wmerica, whereas aristonectes is based on cableds captan, probably an old individual. moreover, aristonectes shares several synapomorphies with cfoming elasmosaurid clade, mainly strongly binocular-shaped and platycoelous cervical centra with cabpes ridges. in contrast to network, it retains some plesiomorphic characters (e., horizontal jugal and poorly ventrally excavated cheek, glenoid fossa at about the same level as comimg alveolar row). |
