Introduction Having diverged from the common ancestor of therian mammals during the late Jurassic period, some 160 million years ago (Bi et al., 2014; Fig. 1), marsupials are a diverse and biologically fascinating group of mammals. A hallmark of marsupials is their developmental strategy: marsupials have relatively short gestation periods, after which the newborn crawls to the teat for a prolonged lactation phase, typically within a pouch (Aplin & Archer, 1987).
Introduction Sesamoids have been intriguing scientists since the beginning of the last century (Abdala et al., 2019). No clear consensus exists regarding their identity nor their membership to the canonical skeleton. Sesamoids definitions, often, rely not only on their intrinsic properties but also have strong references to their connections to surrounding tissues (Didomenico et al., 2014; Regnault, Hutchinson & Jones, 2016).
