- W2989767372 abstract "As windows into the deep history of neuroanatomy, endocasts may provide information about the central nervous system of fossil taxa. Based on exceptionally preserved specimens of coeval mosasauroids (Squamata) and plesiosaurians (Sauropterygia), from the Turonian outcrops of Goulmima (Southern Morocco), the aim of this work was to describe for the first time in detail the endocranial anatomy of these two major clades of Mesozoic marine reptiles to provide insights about their sensory abilities, and thus to understand their cohabitation, interactions and niche partitioning. The endocranial anatomy of related extant squamates, mainly snakes but also varanids and amphisbaenians, also almost unknown until now, has been performed for the first time and used for comparative purpose to analyze the form-function relationships associated to endocasts. The analysis of the endocranial variability in extant squamates pointed out that endocasts reflect both phylogenetic and ecological signals, and that the relative size of each endocranial structure can be used to reveal differences in vision and olfaction according to taxa. Among fossil taxa, computed tomography was used to reconstruct in detail the cranial morphology of three unpublished specimens of Plesiosauria. These specimens have been examined and described, two have been referred to the elasmosaurid Libonectes morgani and the third one is an indeterminate polycotylid. The 3D morphology of the endocast has been reconstructed for these plesiosaurian specimens and the basal mosasauroid Tethysaurus nopcsai. The results show that the endocranial morphology of Plesiosauria differs from that know in other extinct and extant vertebrates. Based on the relative size of the structures composing their endocasts, both the mosasauroid Tethysaurus and the plesiosaurians seem to rely more on vision than on olfaction to interact with their environment. However, these new endocast data, added to information already available in the literature suggest different modes of locomotion and hunting techniques, which probably allowed them to coexist in Goulmima as quaternary consumers." @default.
