The Evolution of Extreme Hypercarnivory in Metriorhynchidae (Mesoeucrocodylia: Thalattosuchia) Based on Evidence From Microscopic Denticle Morphology [PDF]
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2010 ABSTRACT Metriorhynchids were a peculiar group of fully marine Mesozoic crocodylomorphs. The derived genera Dakosaurus and Geosaurus exhibit a macroevolutionary trend towards extreme hypercarnivory, underpinned by a diverse array of craniodental adaptations, including denticulate serrated (ziphodont) dentition.

Palaontologische ZeitschriftAlthough the remains of Metriorhynchidae have been known in Normandy since the nineteenth century, few complete postcranial elements have been studied in detail. Analysis of the angle of flexure of the tail of one of the most complete specimens of Metriorhynchus aff. superciliosus (MPV 2010.3.610) discovered in the Callovian of the Vaches-Noires cliffs

Annales De Paleontologie, 2022 The metriorhynchids from the Jurassic of Normandy have been known since the 19th century. However, the remains studied until now have rarely been found in anatomical connection. The acquisition of specimen MPV 2010.3.610 that was found in the Callovian of Vaches-Noires cliffs by the Paleospace Museum in 2010, allowed the first description of the most ...

Fossil studiesA new metriorhynchid specimen with stomach contents is described here. Assigned to Metriorhynchus cf. superciliosus., this specimen has a clear longirostrine form as indicated by its gracile and elongated mandibular rami. This is the second example of gastric contents described for Metriorhynchidae.

The Enigma of Enaliosuchus, and a Reassessment of the Lower Cretaceous Fossil Record of Metriorhynchidae [PDF]
Cretaceous Research, 2020 Abstract Enaliosuchus macrospondylus Koken, 1883 was one of the first thalattosuchian taxa from the Cretaceous to be described. The type series includes an atlas-axis complex, remnants of three post-axial cervical vertebrae, several dorsal vertebrae, a caudal vertebra, an incomplete femur and a fragmentary sacral rib from the upper Valanginian of ...
