Macroevolutionary trends within Metriorhynchidae (Crocodylia): an integrated quantitative approach

, 2008
Metriorhynchid crocodylians represent the pinnacle of marine specialisation within Archosauria; not only were they a major component of the Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous marine ecosystems, but provide further examples that extinct crocodylians did ...

Metriorhynchid crocodylomorphs from the lower Kimmeridgian of Southern Germany: evidence for a new large-bodied geosaurin lineage in Europe [PDF]

, 2020
Over the last two centuries, numerous exquisitely preserved thalattosuchian crocodylomorph skeletons have been found in the Jurassic strata of Southern Germany.

First evidence of denticulated dentition in teleosaurid crocodylomorphs [PDF]

, 2015
Teleosauridae was a group of largely marine Mesozoic crocodylomorphs, typically considered as akin to “marine gavials” due to their elongate, tubular, polydont rostra that are indicative of a piscivorous diet.

Détermination des stratégies thermorégulatrices des vertébrés marins actuels et fossiles par les isotopes de l'oxygène : implications paléoenvironnementales

, 2023
Recent paleobiogeographic, osteohistological and geochemical studies indicate that Mesozoic Ichthyosauria and Plesiosauria were endothermic and probably homeothermic organisms such as Cetacea.

Elucidating the thermometabolism of Thalattosuchus superciliosus (de Blainville) Young, Brignon, Sachs, Hornung, Foffa, Kitson, Johnson & Steel, 2021 (Archosauria: Metriorhynchidae): a paleohistological study

Comptes Rendus Palevol
Metriorhynchidae Fitzinger, 1843 is an emblematic group of crocodylomorphs whose marine and pelagic lifestyle has long aroused the interest of palaeontologists. Indeed, both their ecology and thermometabolic strategy (i.e., endotherm or ectotherm) remained debated.

The affinities of ‘Steneosaurus barettoni’ (Crocodylomorpha, Thalattosuchia), from the Jurassic of Northern Italy, and implications for cranial evolution among geosaurine metriorhynchids

, 2014
In 1787, a fragmentary fossil skull of a crocodylian was discovered in the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni (Veneto, Northern Italy). In 1883, the specimen was referred to a new species of the teleosauroid Steneosaurus, S. barettoni.

The oldest known metriorhynchid crocodylian from the Middle Jurassic of North-eastern Italy: Neptunidraco ammoniticus gen. et sp. nov.

, 2011
Cretaceous specimens collected predominantly in South America and Europe, but poorly known in the northern margin of Gondwana. The “Portomaggiore crocodile” is the most complete specimen of an Italian metriorhynchid to date: it consists of a partial ...
