Morphology and evolutionary significance of the atlas-axis complex in varanopid synapsids

Nicolás Campione
This week we celebrate the work of Nicolás Campione, a former M.Sc. student in the Reisz lab.

Nicolás’ paper appeared in a recent issue of Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. In this paper Nicolás provides the first comparative study of the axis-atlas spinal morphology of the Varanopids, a synapsid pelycosaur that resembled monitor lizards.

Congratulations on this exciting paper!
