Some of the earliest members of the archosaur-lineage (i.e., non-archosauriform archosauromorphs) are characterised by an extremely elongated neck. Recent fossil discoveries from the Guanling Formation (Middle Triassic) of southern China have revealed a ...

The osteology of the Late Triassic reptile Scleromochlus taylori from μCT data
Abstract Scleromochlus taylori is one of the most enigmatic members of the herpetofauna from the Lossiemouth Sandstone Formation (Upper Triassic) of Elgin (Moray, Scotland). For many years it was thought to be closely related to pterosaurs and dinosaurs, but the anatomy of this animal is difficult to interpret because of the notoriously poor ...

Over the past decades, an increasing number of reptiles have been described from the Middle Triassic of southern parts of China. Marine reptiles such as thalattosaurs, ichthyosaursand sauropterygians dominated these paleofaunas and are known to have had a Tethys-wide distribution.

The Chañares Formation exhibits one of the most important archosauriform records of early Carnian ecosystems. Regarding previous histological studies of Lewisuchus admixtus, a taxa with a fast rate of growth, comparable with that seen in other basal Dinosauriformes and basal dinosaurs.
