Strain Ellipsoid Determination Based on a Cretaceous Crocodyliform Fossil. by Leonardo Morato, Ismar de Souza Carvalho

“…Using theassumption of homogeneous strain, we employed theprinciple of alteration of angular features at simpleshear, measuring orientation of planes that wereoriginally orthogonal. With a Brunton compass,strike and dip data were measured for symmetryplanes, such as the sagital plane in the skull and intwo sets of vertebrae (planes of the neural spines),as well as of features originally orthogonal to theseplanes, respectively the skull roof and the planescontaining the transverse processes in the vertebrae.The measurements were possible only because thefossil is still associated with its matrix, and thus thespatial relations between bones were maintained inmost of the specimen. …”
