Figure 2. Permian dicynodont bone histology. A in Do extraordinarily high growth rates in Permo-Triassic dicynodonts (Therapsida, Anomodontia) explain their success before and after the end-Permian extinction?

Figure 2. Permian dicynodont bone histology. A, adult Galeops humerus SAM-PK-12261a; B, early subadult Eodicynodon femur NMQR2996a; C, late subadult Eodicynodon femur NMQR3153a; D, late subadult Diictodon SAM-PK-K7725; E, subadult Endothiodon tibia SAM-PK-5605c; F, adult Endothiodon humerus SAM-PK-K6618a. Arrows indicate enlarged midcortical channels. Enlarged channels are absent in Galeops, Diictodon, and Endothiodon. However, subadult Endothiodon reveals rapid, sustained growth with an average channel area of 13%. Scale bars: B, C = 500 mm; A, D, E, F = 413 mm.
