Archosauromorpha: The Crocodylomorpha

open access: yes, 2021
International audienceThe Crocodylomorpha, one of the three main archosaurian clades, form a large and diversified group spanning from the early Late Triassic (Carnian) to the present. During its long evolutionary history, Crocodylomorphs developed three

Phylogenetic Relationships of the Atoposauridae (Archosauria, Crocodylomorpha)

Historical Biology, 1988
A systematic revision of the family Atoposauridae is presented, interpreting and reviewing their relationships. The seventy‐one characters have been divided into cranial, postcranial and metric which have been used in three separate cladistic analyses in order to discuss their concordance.

Early Crocodylomorpha

Geological Society Special Publication, 2013
Abstract Non-crocodyliform crocodylomorphs, often called ‘sphenosuchians’, were the earliest-diverging lineages of Crocodylomorpha, and document the stepwise acquisition of many of the features that characterize extant crocodylians. The first crocodylomorph fossils are approximately 230 million years old (upper Carnian, Late Triassic), and at

A Fast Start: Evidence of Rapid Growth in Trialestes Romeri, an Early Crocodylomorpha From the Upper Triassic Continental Beds of Argentina Based on Osteohistological Analyses

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy
The palaeobiology aspects of early Crocodylomorpha during their origin in the Triassic are poorly known, despite occupying an important palaeoecological role in continental environments.

In a while it will be a crocodile: the early evolution of Crocodylomorpha in Europe

2023
Crocodylomorpha, the crocodylian stem-lineage, is the only pseudosuchian clade that survived into the Jurassic. Its earliest members, the non-crocodyliform crocodylomorphs or ‘sphenosuchians’, were terrestrial and mostly small-bodied (

Baurusuchus Salgadoensis, a New Crocodylomorpha From the Bauru Basin (Cretaceous), Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesGondwana Research, 2005
Abstract Baurusuchus salgadoensis is a new baurusuchid crocodylomorph from Bauru Basin (Cretaceous), Brazil, partially preserved through a complete skull. The fossil comes from a fine sandstone sequence of Adamantina Formation, General Salgado County, Sao Paulo State.

New Tertiary Sebecosuchians (Crocodylomorpha) From South America: Phylogenetic Implications

Historical Biology, 1993
A new family, genus and species of a sebecosuchian crocodile from the late Paleocene of northwestern Argentina is described. This new taxon shows several apomorphic conditions such as the bent premaxillae, very high posterior part of the jugal, bent pterygoids, 3 pairs of procumbent teeth and a broad retroarticular process.

Differentiation and growth of bone ornamentation in vertebrates: A comparative histological study among the Crocodylomorpha

Journal of Morphology, 2014
ABSTRACTBone ornamentation, that is, hollow (pits and grooves) or protruding (ridges) repetitive reliefs on the surface of dermal bones, is a frequent, though poorly studied and understood, feature in vertebrates. One of the most typical examples of this characteristic is given by the Crurotarsi, a taxon formed by the crocodilians and their closest ...

Reconstruction of the bracing system of the trunk and tail in hyposaurine dyrosaurids (Crocodylomorpha; Mesoeucrocodylia)

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2009
ABSTRACT The axial skeleton of hyposaurine dyrosaurids differs significantly from that of extant crocodylians, most notably in the height of the neural spines, the vertically oriented thoracic ribs and osteoderms that lack external keels. This indicates a different configuration of the epaxial musculature for hyposaurine dyrosaurids compared with ...

Cranial and postcranial anatomy of a juvenile baurusuchid (Notosuchia, Crocodylomorpha) and the taxonomical implications of ontogeny

The Anatomical Record
AbstractBaurusuchidae comprises a clade of top‐tier terrestrial predators and are among the most abundant crocodyliforms found in the Adamantina Formation, Bauru Basin, Brazil (Campanian‐Maastrichtian). Here, we provide a detailed description of the cranial and postcranial osteology and myology of the most complete juvenile baurusuchid found to date ...
