pachyostosis

Pachyostose {f}zool.

• Of the remaining two monospecific genera, "Struthionops intermedius" known from a single skull, possesses a naso-frontal boss moderate pachyostosis and a fairly short snout.
• In "Anteosaurus", pachyostosis mainly occurs in the form of horn-shaped supraorbital protuberances.
• However, how terrestrial these animals were is difficult to say, as their pachyostosis and other adaptations for an aquatic lifestyle would have made foraging on land difficult.
• The extreme pachyostosis was suggested to have been a protection against attacks by crocodiles.
• Young plesiosaurs show pachyostosis, an extreme density of the bone tissue, which would have decreased buoyancy.

• The genus is related to modern South Asian river dolphin and is distinguished by pachyostosis in the spinous processes of the postcervical vertebrae.
• The body structure of such has an overall flattened morphology and distinctively severe pachyostosis.
• Pachyosteosclerosis is a combination of thickening (pachyostosis) and densification (osteosclerosis) of bones.
• Sirenians exhibit pachyostosis, a condition in which the ribs and other long bones are solid and contain little or no bone marrow.
• Although hesperornithiforms probably lost their flight abilities by the end of the Early Cretaceous, minimal pachyostosis in "Brodavis" suggests the possibility of some volant abilities.

• In the Anteosaurinae, pachyostosis is taken to extremes.
• The intertemporal region is very broad and the cranial roof greatly thickened by pachyostosis.
• Any pachyostosis of the ribs is absent in "Serpianosaurus" specimens.
• It can be distinguished by other rubidgeines by its lack of cranial pachyostosis and rugosoties, and by its relatively small orbits.
• Pachyostosis is a non-pathological condition in vertebrate animals in which the bones experience a thickening, generally caused by extra layers of lamellar bone.
