“…Indeed, its growth rate was estimated by fluorescence labeling in the cat mandible at 44 to 67 microns/day, while the rate of lamellar bone formation was only 5.3 to 8.9 microns/day (Goret-Nicaise, 1986). It was reported in all the cranial sutural edges in humans (from 20 weeks-old fetuses until at least 9 months old babies; Goret-Nicaise et al, 1988), and in all the cranio-facial sutural edges in chick embryos (at the 9th, 12th and 14th day of incubation; Lengelé et al, 1990Lengelé et al, , 1996aLengelé et al, , 1996b. More recently, Rafferty and Herring (1999) found CB in the nasofrontal suture of 4 to 6 month-old miniature pigs.…”

“…6B, D), in a similar manner as to what has been observed in mammalian and avian sutures (Lengelé et al, 1990(Lengelé et al, , 1996aManzanares et al, 1988). Goret-Nicaise et al (1988) found that CB was the major driving force of "bone" lengthening at the sutural borders, and that it was not comparable to periosteal growth. Manzanares et al (1988) concluded that CB also had a role in sutural fusion (in the metopic suture of 6-months-old infants).…”

“…This extracellular matrix (ECM) possesses collagen type I which is typical of bone, and collagen type II which is typical of cartilage (Goret-Nicaise, 1984). It has been found in all the craniofacial bones and the mandible (in both endochondral and membrane bones) of human fetuses and infants (Goret-Nicaise, 1984Dhem, 1982, 1985;Goret-Nicaise et al, 1988;Manzanares et al, 1988; and see Fig. 1), cat fetuses and chick embryos (Lengelé, 1997;Lengelé et al, 1990Lengelé et al, , 1996aLengelé et al, , 1996b.…”

In histology textbooks, the vertebrate skeleton is represented as almost entirely made of bone and cartilage. This is a false dichotomy and in fact, a continuum of intermediate tissues between bone and cartilage exists. Chondroid bone ([CB] or chondroid tissue), one of the most well-known intermediate tissues, has been reported in mammals, birds and crocodilians. It accommodates (1) rapid growth of the skull and (2) the development of craniofacial sutures. Since CB is present in the extant phylogenetic bracket of the Dinosauria, we hypothesized that it was also present in non-avian dinosaurs. By means of paleohistological examination and microradiography, we report for the first time the presence of CB in nonavian dinosaur embryos and nestlings (Ornithischia: Hadrosauridae). It was found in five locations: (1) scattered within the bone trabeculae of an embryonic surangular; (2) and (3) in the coronoid process and in the alveolar processes of an embryonic dentary; (4) in the mandibul...

In these areas, CB was present in large amounts, suggesting that it played an important role in the rapid growth of the hadrosaurian skull during embryonic development. Moreover, the CB present in the sutural borders of a Hypacrosaurus frontal suggests that it was also involved in sutural growth, as it has been reported to be in mammalian and avian sutures. This is the first step taken to document and understand dinosaurian sutures from a histological perspective and it sheds light on an old problem by reporting the presence of CB in an additional clade within the Vertebrata. It is parsimonious to propose that CB in the chick embryo, Gallus gallus, the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis and the hadrosaurs of the present study are homologous and that CB arose once and was inherited from their common ancestor.©

“…Indeed, its rate of deposition in gro wing cats is estimated to be 44-67 pm/day, about 6 times faster than that of lamellar bone [Goret-Nicaise, 1986]. Moreover, formation of this tissue seems to be related to the simultaneous action of forces of opposite directions |Goret- Nicaisc, 1986;Goret-Nicaise et al. 1988].…”

Ossification of the ilium is similar to that of a long bone. It possesses three cartilaginous epiphyses and one cartilaginous process. Moreover, it undergoes peculiar osteoclastic resorption, comparable with that of the cranium bones. Asymmetrical ossification of the ilium, haversian bone remodelling and apposition of chondroid tissue posterosuperiorly to the acetabulum most probably emphasize the importance of mechanical factors in the morphogenesis of the hip bone during fetal life.

“…This may have important implications for growth in chimpanzees. It seems reasonable that the degree of secondary cartilage is limited to the areas including and surrounding sutures [see Goret-Nicaise et al (1988) for discussion of secondary cartilage in humans].…”

Surface bone histology of the occipital bone in humans and chimpanzees

Human and chimpanzee occipital bones are thought to grow and develop in distinctly opposite bone remodeling patterns. Preliminary research examining growth-remodeling fields (GRFs) from the surfaces of the occipital bone in modern humans and chimpanzee indicates this may not be entirely correct. By using vinyl/resin-casting techniques, coupled with scanning electron and reflected-light microscopy, GRF profiles from a cross-sectional sample of humans and chimpanzees have documented the ongoing histological activities that reflect developmental processes through which taxon-specific ontogenetic trajectories alter bone morphology. Surface bone profiles aid in explaining how the posterior skull takes shape, thereby aiding in our understanding of the developmental processes that may contribute to the morphological variation in the posterior skull in humans and chimpanzees.
