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.

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae). [PDF]
J AnatA three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

The age of the Tashinga Formation (Karoo Supergroup) in the mid-Zambezi basin, Zimbabwe and the first Phytosaur from mainland sub-Saharan Africa [PDF]
, 2020 Correlations between continental sequences within the Karoo-aged basins of southern and eastern Africa are difficult due to the dearth of shared index fossils and a lack of radioisotopic dates for key formations.
