The jaw adductor muscles of Champsosaurus and their implications for feeding mechanics
The jaw musculature of Champsosaurus has been enigmatic since the taxon was first described. The extant phylogenetic bracketing method is used to determine the morphology of the jaw adductor musculature. Rotational mathematics is used to calculate the muscle forces, torques, angular accelerations, a...
