High-resolution X-ray microtomography methods have helped evolutionary biology (a team led by Prof. Klembara) to solve the problem existing over a century, related to the origin of amniotes and thus an essential stage in vertebrate evolution. This stage of evolution is important because the tetrapods broke their ties with the aquatic environment and began to settle the land. Two groups of early tetrapods and ancestors of amniotes \u2013 the fossil findings of representatives of diadectomorphs and seymouriamorphs \u2013 were analysed by X-ray microtomography, namely their labyrinth of the inner ear. Acquired 3D data from microCT measurements were then subjected to mathematical processing and time-consuming data segmentation with the goal to distinguish fossil structures from the sediment. The results were finally subjected to a cladistic analysis and provided paleobiologists with the knowledge to determine the new classification of these groups in the developmental cladogram.<\/p>\n
