Palaeohistology and external microanatomy of rauisuchian osteoderms (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2011 The presence of postcranial dermal armour is plesiomorphic for Archosauria. Here, we survey the external microanatomy and histology of postcranial osteoderms (i.e.

Osteology of the Late Triassic aetosaur Scutarx deltatylus (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Aetosaurians are some of the most common fossils collected from the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation of Arizona, especially at the Petrified Forest National Park (PEFO). Aetosaurians collected from lower levels of the park include Desmatosuchus spurensis,

Were Notosuchia (Pseudosuchia: Crocodylomorpha) warm-blooded? A palaeohistological analysis suggests ectothermy [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020 International audienceMost Notosuchia were active terrestrial predators. A few were semi-aquatic, or were insectivorous, omnivorous or herbivorous. A question relative to their thermometabolism remains to be answered: were Notosuchia warm-blooded?

A new phylogenetic analysis of Phytosauria (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) with the application of continuous and geometric morphometric character coding [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Phytosauria is a clade of large, carnivorous, semi-aquatic archosauromorphs which reached its peak diversity and an almost global distribution in the Late Triassic (c. 230–201 Mya).

On the homology of crocodylian post‐dentary bones and their macroevolution throughout Pseudosuchia
The Anatomical Record, 2022 The lower jaw of early tetrapods is composed of several intramembranous ossifications. However, a tendency toward the independent reduction of the number of bones has been observed in the mandible of mammals, lepidosaurs, turtles, crocodiles, and birds ...

Postcranial anatomy and osteoderm histology of Riojasuchus tenuisceps and a phylogenetic update on Ornithosuchidae (Archosauria, Pseudosuchia) [PDF]
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2020 Ornithosuchidae is a group of terrestrial quadrupedal pseudosuchian archosaurs from the Late Triassic of South America and Europe. Riojasuchus tenuisceps is arguably one of the best representative species of this clade because it comprises very well ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 3, Page 549-565, March 2024., 2023 Abstract Pseudosuchian archosaurs, reptiles more closely related to crocodylians than to birds, exhibited high morphological diversity during the Triassic and are thus associated with hypotheses of high ecological diversity during this time. One example involves basal loricatans which are non‐crocodylomorph pseudosuchians traditionally known as ...

New digital braincase endocasts of two species of Desmatosuchus and neurocranial diversity within Aetosauria (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2021 In the present contribution we revise, figure, and redescribe several isolated braincases of the iconic aetosaur Desmatosuchus from the Placerias Quarry locality, Chinle Formation, Arizona, USA. The detailed study of the isolated braincases from the UCMP
