‘Ear stones’ in crocodylians: a cross-species comparative and ontogenetic survey of otolith structures

It consists of three semicircular canals that sense angular rotations of the head and the vestibule that detects linear acceleration and gravity. The vestibule often contains structures, known as the...crocodylia, ontogeny, otolith, inner ear, and vestibular system
