The first ornithosuchid from Brazil and its macroevolutionary and phylogenetic implications for Late Triassic faunas in Gondwana [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 rnithosuchidae is one of the most enigmatic clades of Triassic pseudosuchians. The group is composed by three carnivorous species that were excavated from Upper Triassic beds of Scotland and Argentina.

The osteohistology of Orthosuchus stormbergi using synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography. [PDF]
J AnatThe osteohistology of Orthosuchus stormbergi is described for the first time. The primary bone tissue was lamellar bone. It had relatively thick bone walls, possibly indicating an aquatic lifestyle. Orthosuchus was a small bodied adult reaching a maximum body mass of about 1.2 kg.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Aetosauria represents a remarkable clade of armored pseudosuchians in which some of its oldest members are recovered from late Carnian units of Brazil. Three species are known: the mid-sized aetosaur Aetosauroides scagliai, which also occurs in Argentina,

Biomechanical modeling of musculoskeletal function related to the terrestrial locomotion of Riojasuchus tenuisceps (Archosauria: Ornithosuchidae). [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Riojasuchus tenuisceps was a pseudosuchian archosaur from the Late Triassic period in Argentina. Like other ornithosuchids, it had unusual morphology such as a unique “crocodile‐reversed” ankle joint, a lesser trochanter as in dinosaurs and a few other archosaurs, robust vertebrae, and somewhat shortened, gracile forelimbs.

Anatomical notes and discussion of the first described aetosaur Stagonolepis robertsoni (Archosauria: Suchia) from the Upper Triassic of Europe, and the use of plesiomorphies in aetosaur biochronology [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Stagonolepis robertsoni, from the Late Triassic of Scotland, was the first named aetosaurian. Known mostly from a series of natural molds from two localities, the osteology of this taxon has been difficult to interpret.

Paleobiology, 2022 Abstract Notosuchia is a group of mostly terrestrial crocodyliforms. The presence of a prominent crest overhanging the acetabulum, slender straight-shafted long bones with muscular insertions close to the joints, and a stable knee joint suggests that they had an erect posture.

Unappreciated diversification of stem archosaurs during the Middle Triassic predated the dominance of dinosaurs. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2016 Archosauromorpha originated in the middle–late Permian, radiated during the Triassic, and gave rise to the crown group Archosauria, a highly successful clade of reptiles in terrestrial ecosystems over the last 250 million years.

Neural and endocranial anatomy of Triassic phytosaurian reptiles and convergence with fossil and modern crocodylians [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Phytosaurs are a clade of large, carnivorous pseudosuchian archosaurs from the Late Triassic with a near cosmopolitan distribution. Their superficial resemblance to longirostrine (long-snouted) crocodylians, such as gharials, has often been used in the ...

, 2021 The phylogenetic relationships of Pseudosuchia, the crocodile-line of Archosauria, are still poorly resolved, in part, due to the lack of crucial braincase information for several key taxa.
