The phylogenetic relationships of basal archosauromorphs, with an emphasis on the systematics of proterosuchian archosauriforms [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The early evolution of archosauromorphs during the Permo-Triassic constitutes an excellent empirical case study to shed light on evolutionary radiations in deep time and the timing and processes of recovery of terrestrial faunas after a mass extinction ...

An early Late Triassic long-necked reptile with a bony pectoral shield and gracile appendages [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 Several partially articulated specimens and numerous isolated bones of Ozimek volans gen. et sp. nov., from the late Carnian lacustrine deposits exposed at Krasiejów in southern Poland, enable a reconstruction of most of the skeleton.

A new occurrence of the Late Triassic archosaur Smok in southern Poland [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2018 Two isolated teeth, a dorsal vertebra, fragments of a humerus and femur, a fragmentary pubic “boot” and part of an ischium shaft, identified here as belonging to a large predatory archosaur were discovered in the Upper Triassic site at Marciszów near ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Adaptive radiations have played a major role in generating modern and deep-time biodiversity. The Triassic radiation of the Archosauromorpha was one of the most spectacular vertebrate radiations, giving rise to many highly ecomorphologically varied ...

Bone histology of Azendohsaurus laaroussii: Implications for the evolution of thermometabolism in Archosauromorpha [PDF]
Paleobiology, 2019 Abstract This paper is aimed at constraining the phylogenetic frame of the acquisition of endothermy by Archosauromorpha. We analyzed the bone histology of Azendohsaurus laaroussii . Stylopodial and zeugopodial bones show three tissue types: (1) avascular lamellar zonal bone

Widespread azendohsaurids (Archosauromorpha, Allokotosauria) from the Late Triassic of western USA and India [PDF]
Papers in Palaeontology, 2021 AbstractArchosauromorph reptiles underwent rapid lineage diversification, increases in morphological and body size disparity, and expansion into new adaptive landscapes. Several of the primary early archosauromorph clades (e.g. rhynchosaurs) are easy to differentiate from others because of their characteristic body types, whereas the more lizard‐like ...

A new proterochampsid archosauriform from the Middle–Upper Triassic of Southern Brazil [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica PolonicaProterochampsidae is a clade of carnivorous archosauriforms that lived during the Triassic and is characterized by an elongated rostrum with dorsally oriented external nares, and a unique pes configuration.

Bone Histology of Phytosaur, Aetosaur, and Other Archosauriform Osteoderms (Eureptilia, Archosauromorpha) [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2013 ABSTRACTAs in other archosauriforms, phytosaurs and aetosaurs are characterized by the presence of well‐developed osteoderms. Here we provide a comparative study on the microstructure of phytosaur (five taxa) and aetosaur (thirteen taxa) osteoderms.

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023 Abstract Non‐crocodyliform crocodylomorphs, formerly referred to the informal group ‘Sphenosuchia’, are the earliest known crocodylomorph precursors of extant crocodylians. They are therefore crucial for our understanding of early crocodylian evolution and the origin of typical crocodylian characteristics, such as the formation of a secondary palate ...
