Palaeontology, Volume 65, Issue 3, May/June 2022., 2022 Abstract Little is known about the large‐scale evolutionary patterns of skull size relative to body size, and the possible drivers behind these patterns, in Archosauromorpha. For example, the large skulls of erythrosuchids, a group of non‐archosaurian archosauromorphs from the Early and Middle Triassic, and of theropod dinosaurs are regarded as ...

A REEXAMINATION OF FOUR PROLACERTIFORMS WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR PTEROSAUR PHYLOGENESIS
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2000 Traditionally, pterosaurs have been included within the Archosauriformes and many contemporary workers consider the Pterosauria the sister group to Lagosuchus, Scleromochlus and the Dinosauria.
