Cranial anatomy of Desmatosuchus haplocerus (Reptilia: Archosauria: Stagonolepididae) [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002 New skull material of the Triassic aetosaur Desmatosuchus haplocerus (Archosauria: Stagonolepididae) from the Cooper Canyon Formation (Late Triassic: early Norian) of Texas is described. This is the most complete description of the skull of Desmatosuchus to date, shedding light on the edentulous premaxilla, laterally exposed splenial on the mandible ...

Ontogeny of the Middle-Ear Air-Sinus System in Alligator mississippiensis (Archosauria: Crocodylia). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Modern crocodylians, including Alligator mississippiensis, have a greatly elaborated system of pneumatic sinuses invading the cranium. These sinuses invade nearly all the bones of the chondrocranium and several bony elements of the splanchnocranium, but ...

Biomechanical analysis and new trophic hypothesis for Riojasuchus tenuisceps, a bizarre-snouted Late Triassic pseudosuchian from Argentina [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 Ornithosuchids are a Late Triassic pseudosuchian archosaur group, consisting of four species (three from South America, and one from Scotland). All of them have triangular skulls with a protruding premaxilla, large nostrils, an extensive diastema in ...

An enigmatic new archosauriform from the Carnian– Norian, Upper Triassic, Ischigualasto Formation of northwestern Argentina [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 In this contribution we introduce a new Late Triassic archosaur, Incertovenator longicollum gen. et sp. nov., with an unusual combination of character states that are present in certain early avemetatarsalian and pseudosuchian archosaur clades.

The first ornithosuchid from Brazil and its macroevolutionary and phylogenetic implications for Late Triassic faunas in Gondwana [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 rnithosuchidae is one of the most enigmatic clades of Triassic pseudosuchians. The group is composed by three carnivorous species that were excavated from Upper Triassic beds of Scotland and Argentina.

The craniomandibular anatomy of the early archosauriform Euparkeria capensis and the dawn of the archosaur skull [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Archosauria (birds, crocodilians and their extinct relatives) form a major part of terrestrial ecosystems today, with over 10 000 living species, and came to dominate the land for most of the Mesozoic (over 150 Myr) after radiating following the Permian ...

Vertebral morphometrics and lung structure in non-avian dinosaurs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 The lung-air sac system of modern birds is unique among vertebrates. However, debate surrounds whether an avian-style lung is restricted to birds or first appeared in their dinosaurian ancestors, as common osteological correlates for the respiratory ...

A new archosauriform (Reptilia: Diapsida) from the Manda beds (Middle Triassic) of southwestern Tanzania. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundArchosauria and their closest relatives, the non-archosaurian archosauriforms, diversified in the Early and Middle Triassic, soon after the end-Permian extinction. This diversification is poorly documented in most Lower and Middle Triassic rock
