The histology of rhynchosaur (Diapsida, Archosauromorpha) ankylothecodonty

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 526-540, March 2026.
Dental evolution is a major topic in vertebrate palaeontology and provides key insights into the evolutionary history of several amniote clades. This study investigates rhynchosaur ankylothecodonty within the broader evolutionary context of Archosauromorpha.

Arthrological reconstructions of the pterosaur neck and their implications for the cervical position at rest [PDF]

PeerJ
The lack of any pterosaur living descendants creates gaps in the knowledge of the biology of this group, including its cervical biomechanics, which makes it difficult to understand their posture and life habits.

The history, systematics, and nomenclature of Thalattosuchia (Archosauria: Crocodylomorpha)

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society
Abstract The use of more than one nomenclatural code is becoming increasingly common in some biological sub-disciplines. To minimize nomenclatural instability, we have decided to establish a higher level systematization for Thalattosuchia under both the International Code of Phylogenetic Nomenclature (‘PhyloCode’) and the International ...

Histology‐Based Morphology of the Neurocentral Synchondrosis in Alligator Mississippiensis (Archosauria, Crocodylia) [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 2011
AbstractMorphology of the neurocentral synchondroses—thin cartilaginous layers between centra and neural arches—are documented in the extant crocodilian, Alligator mississippiensis (Archosauria, Crocodylia). Examination of dry skeletons demonstrates that neurocentral suture closure occurs in very late postnatal ontogeny (after reaching sexual maturity ...

Flesh and bone: The musculature and cervical movements of pterosaurs [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The osteological variations present in the cervical vertebrae of pterosaurs represent changes in the soft tissues of the neck and reflect their function. Here, we infer the presence, volume, and capacity of the cervical musculature of pterosaurs.

Osteohistology of the silesaurid Sacisaurus agudoensis from southern Brazil (Late Triassic) and implications for growth in early dinosaurs

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
: The non-dinosaurian dinosauriform silesaurids are the closest relatives of crown-group dinosaurs and are thus, important for understanding the origins of that group.

A new species of the Late Triassic aetosaur Desmatosuchus (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia)

Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2005
Reanalysis of known armor of the stagonolepidid (aetosaur) Desmatosuchus has shown distinct differences in the lateral armor among individuals known from Carnian and Norian age rocks in the southwestern United States. Combined with previously reported cranial differences it is apparent that Norian specimens of Desmatosuchus represent a species distinct

The evolutionary origins of impedance-matching hearing in Archosauria

, 2014
Das impedanzwandelnde Hören ist eine wichtige Verfeinerung des Gehörsystems der Tetrapoden indem es einen Energieverlust während der Schallübertragung vermeidet. Anatomisch ist es durch eine Unterteilung des Foramen Metoticum in eine vordere Fenestra Pseudorotunda und ein hinteres Vagus Foramen charakterisiert. Dieses System trat mehrmals unabhängig in
