Life-History Traits of the Miocene Hipparion concudense (Spain) Inferred from Bone Histological Structure (original) (raw)
Figure 8
Growth marks in tibiae of Hipparion concudense.
The figure shows (on the left) the cross sections of tibiae 30686 (top) and 30685 (down) with the lines of arrested growth identified in the cortical bone and (on the right) a detail of the cortical bone with these growth marks. Red lines are LAGs; green lines indicate the LAGs in the bone remodelled areas; gray lines show the inferred position of the LAGs in regions of the section lacking the cortical bone; red arrows indicate the growth marks within the cortical bone; and vertical red lines show the EFS. Scalebar: 5000 µm.
