The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1692-1706, June 2025.Abstract The eusuchian crocodyliforms recorded in the Eocene levels of the Spanish Duero Basin belong to three lineages: Planocraniidae, with the species Duerosuchus piscator; Alligatoroidea, represented by several specimens of the genus Diplocynodon; and Crocodyloidea, which includes several specimens traditionally attributed to Asiatosuchus.

On the Fila Olfactoria and the Cribriform Region of the Crocodylia [PDF]
Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 2, February 2025.The fila olfactoria of Alligator mississippiensis courses through a perforated pad of dense connective tissue to reach the olfactory bulb. The perforations are formed by perineural spaces, which produce continuity between the CSF and the olfactory submucosa.

Virtual reconstruction of the endocranial anatomy of the early Jurassic marine crocodylomorph Pelagosaurus typus (Thalattosuchia) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Thalattosuchians were highly specialised aquatic archosaurs of the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, and represent a peak of aquatic adaptation among crocodylomorphs. Relatively little is known of their endocranial anatomy or its relevance for the evolution
