    Proc Biol Sci 276:507-13. 2009
    ..The critical shell elements (i.e. costals and neurals) are thus not simple outgrowths of the bone of the endoskeletal elements as has been hypothesized from some embryological observations...
  3. ncbi Transitional fossils and the origin of turtles
    Tyler R Lyson
    Department of Geology and Geophysics, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06511, USA
    Biol Lett 6:830-3. 2010
    ..This result reflects the importance of transitional fossils when long branches separate crown clades, and highlights unexplored issues such as the role of topological congruence when using fossils to calibrate molecular clocks...

    Tyler R Lyson
    Department of Geology and Geophysics, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06511, USA
    Biol Lett 7:925-8. 2011
    ..The in situ specimen demonstrates that a gap devoid of non-avian dinosaur fossils does not exist and is inconsistent with the hypothesis that non-avian dinosaurs were extinct prior to the K-T boundary impact event...
