A DIAGNOSIS OF ALLIGATOR MISSISSIPPIENSIS BITE MARKS WITH COMPARISONS TO EXISTING CROCODYLIAN DATASETS

, 2017
Crocodylians are known to consume and modify bones, but actualistic observations of their bite marks have been limited to forensic case studies and surveys of two taxa: Crocodylus niloticus and Crocodylus porosus.

New records from Banks Island expand the diversity of Eocene fishes from Canada’s western Arctic Greenhouse

Arctic Science, 2018
Eocene vertebrates from the Canadian Arctic, including sharks, bony fishes, turtles, crocodylians, birds, and mammals, have provided strong evidence for relatively warm ice-free conditions in the Arctic during the Eocene Greenhouse interval.

A new crocodylian from the late Maastrichtian of Spain: implications for the initial radiation of crocodyloids.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundThe earliest crocodylians are known primarily from the Late Cretaceous of North America and Europe. The representatives of Gavialoidea and Alligatoroidea are known in the Late Cretaceous of both continents, yet the biogeographic origins of ...

Australia's oldest crocodylian eggshell : insights into the reproductive paleoecology of mekosuchines

Alongside large madtsoiid snakes, the largest known lizards, thylacoleonid marsupials and a range of other terrestrial carnivores, the now extinct mekosuchine crocodylians were significant predators during most of the Cenozoic in Australia.

The extended osteoderm shield in Paleosuchus sp.: a dwarf crocodylian adaptation to the equatorial forest ecosystem?

The crocodylian dwarf species (i.e., Osteolaemus sp. and Paleosuchus sp.) that live in the equatorial forests all share the peculiarity to present an osteoderm shield which extends beyond the dorsal area that lies between the skull and the caudal crest ...

Schematic diagram of steps performed during a single iteration of LaSEC on a crocodylian skull dataset [25].

, 2018
The procedure begins by extracting shape information from a coordinate dataset (“Parent dataset”), subsampling three randomly selected landmarks, then calculating its fit of specimen distribution to that of the parent dataset based on Procrustes sum of ...
