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

The 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.

New lizard record (Diapsida, Lepidosauria) from the Upper Cretaceous Adamantina Formation, Brazil [PDF]

Bulletin of Geosciences, 2009
A new record of a Late Cretaceous lizard-like non-serpentian squamate from Adamantina Formation (Bauru Group; Turonian-Santonian) southeast of Brazil is based on a specimen found about 10 km south of Marília city (São Paulo State). The material consists of 10 articulated dorsal vertebrae with a total length of 14 mm and seven incomplete right ribs ...

RAIBLIANIA CALLIGARISI GEN. N., SP. N., A NEW TANYSTROPHEID (DIAPSIDA, TANYSTROPHEIDAE) FROM THE UPPER TRIASSIC (CARNIAN) OF NORTHEASTERN ITALY

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2020
Tetrapod remains are extremely rare in the early Carnian (Late Triassic) Calcare del Predil Formation on the Italian side of the Julian Alps (Friuli Venezia Giulia Autonomous Region), which yielded the Raibl fossil assemblage including the famous "Raibl ...

A Late Campanian sphenodontid (Reptilia, Diapsida) from northern Patagonia

Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2005
Abstract The fossil record of sphenodontids in the Southern Hemisphere is much longer than in Laurasia, where they became extinct after Early Cretaceous times. Recent works demonstrated the persistence of at least eilenodontine sphenodontids until the ‘mid’-Cretaceous of Patagonia.

A redescription of Brouffia orientalis Carroll & Baird, 1972 from the Upper Carboniferous of the Czech Republic and the status and affinities of protorothyridid amniotes

Swiss Journal of Palaeontology
The Upper Carboniferous protorothyridid amniote Brouffia orientalis from Czech Republic is redescribed. Photogrammetric scanning of the holotype and only known specimen yields considerable new information on the skull and postcranium of this tetrapod and

The origin and early evolution of Sauria: reassessing the permian Saurian fossil record and the timing of the crocodile-lizard divergence.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Sauria is the crown-group of Diapsida and is subdivided into Lepidosauromorpha and Archosauromorpha, comprising a high percentage of the diversity of living and fossil tetrapods.

A new, exceptionally preserved juvenile specimen of Eusaurosphargis dalsassoi (Diapsida) and implications for Mesozoic marine diapsid phylogeny

Scientific Reports, 2017
Recently it was suggested that the phylogenetic clustering of Mesozoic marine reptile lineages, such as thalattosaurs, the very successful fish-shaped ichthyosaurs and sauropterygians (including plesiosaurs), among others, in a so-called ‘superclade’ is ...

THE FIRST ITALIAN SPECIMEN OF AUSTRIADACTYLUS CRISTATUS (DIAPSIDA, PTEROSAURIA) FROM THE NORIAN (UPPER TRIASSIC) OF THE CARNIC PREALPS

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2009
The Triassic pterosaur Austriadactylus cristatus is reported for the first time from the Norian (Upper Triassic) of north-eastern Italy. It is only the second specimen of this taxon and provides new information on the mandibular dentition, cranium and ...
