Craniofacial Form and Function in Metriorhynchidae (Crocodylomorpha: Thalattosuchia): Modelling Phenotypic Evolution With Maximum-Likelihood Methods [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2011 Metriorhynchid crocodylomorphs were the only group of archosaurs to fully adapt to a pelagic lifestyle. During the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, this group diversified into a variety of ecological and morphological types, from large super-predators with a broad short snout and serrated teeth to specialized piscivores/teuthophages with an elongate ...
