Endocranial anatomy of the earliest Cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 787-802, October 2026.We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT‐scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern UK. From the study of the endocast, we obtained new information on the phylogeny and the ecological evolution of the Family ...

Addendum to ‘Revision of the Late Jurassic teleosaurid genus Machimosaurus (Crocodylomorpha, Thalattosuchia)’ [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Abstract Machimosaurus is a large teleosaurid thalattosuchian, a marine crocodylomorph historically recovered from Upper Jurassic strata of Europe. Several fragmentary remains are assignable to this genus but only four complete skulls have been reported, two of which are currently unavailable for study. A recent revision of the material assigned to
