New skulls and skeletons of the Cretaceous legged snake Najash, and the evolution of the modern snake body plan
Snakes represent one of the most dramatic examples of the evolutionary versatility of the vertebrate body plan, including body elongation, limb loss, and skull kinesis. However, understanding the earliest steps toward the acquisition of these remarkable adaptations is hampered by the very limited fo...
