A redescription of Trachelosaurus fischeri from the Buntsandstein (Middle Triassic) of Bernburg, Germany: the first European Dinocephalosaurus-like marine reptile and its systematic implications for long-necked early archosauromorphs

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Palaeontology
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

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 1113-1146, April 2024.
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 ...

Evolution of the temporal skull openings in land vertebrates: A hypothetical framework on the basis of biomechanics

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 1559-1593, April 2024.
Abstract The complex constructions of land vertebrate skulls have inspired a number of functional analyses. In the present study, we provide a basic view on skull biomechanics and offer a framework for more general observations using advanced modeling approaches in the future.

Osteological re-description of Macrocnemus fuyuanensis (Archosauromorpha, Tanystropheidae) from the Middle Triassic of China

open access: yes, 2020
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.

BONE MICROSTRUCTURE OF ARCHOSAUROMORPHA FROM THE LATE TRIASSIC CHAÑARES FORMATION (CARNIAN) OF NW ARGENTINA

open access: yes, 2019
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.
