Simosauridae is a Triassic eosauropterygian clade restricted to the western Paleotethys. It is known by relatively abundant cranial and postcranial elements coming mostly from European localities, where the type species, Simosaurus gaillardoti, from the Ladinian (Middle Triassic) of France and Germany, and the recently defined Paludidraco multidentatus,

An articulated sauropterygian marine reptile from the Middle Triassic of the South-Iberian Palaeomargin, Betic Cordillera, Southeastern Spain [PDF]
A new Triassic small marine reptile has been found in the locality of Cehegín (Murcia, Southeastern Spain). The fossil remains mainly comprise moulds of the bones and some osseous fragments still embedded in the rock.

Ecophysiological steps of marine adaptation in extant and extinct non‐avian tetrapods [PDF]
Marine reptiles and mammals are phylogenetically so distant from each other that their marine adaptations are rarely compared directly. We reviewed ecophysiological features in extant non-avian marine tetrapods representing 31 marine colonizations to ...

The first skeletal evidence of an Upper Triassic (Rhaetian) diapsid reptile from the Western Carpathians (Strážov Highlands, Slovakia) [PDF]
Here we describe the first skeletal evidence of a tetrapod from Rhaetian (Upper Triassic) marine deposits of the Western Carpathians. The material consists of an isolated left femur and comes from the Úbočka locality near Čičmany in the Strážov ...
