Right on the pulse of science: current research from the Natural History Museum Stuttgart as well as from (international) partner institutions is presented at our research colloquium. The colloquium serves the scientific exchange between researchers and all those interested in research. The lectures in English take place regularly every fortnight on Tuesdays at 4 pm at Museum am Löwentor and are transmitted via Zoom. We look forward to active participation on site or online!

The Late Triassic Krasiejów locality in southwestern Poland is remarkable due to the quality and quantity of its fossil finds. The palaeohistological study of long bones of temnospondyl amphibians, aetosaurs and phytosaurs all originating from Krasiejów revealed that the animals grew with a very similar growth pattern. All bones show lamellar-zonal bone and lack the deposition of Lines of Arrested growth. This is outstanding since the sampled taxa are phylogenetically not closely related. Moreover, the growth expression in aetosaurs and phytosaurs is different from their counterparts from Southern and Northern American deposits which grew with fibro-lamellar bone. This can be linked with the influence of external factors e.g. climatic conditions, influencing the growth pattern expression and thus can help reconstruct the palaeobiology and palaeoenvironment of long-extinct groups.
