The osteology of the Late Triassic reptile Scleromochlus taylori from μCT data
The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 1113-1146, April 2024.Abstract Scleromochlus taylori is one of the most enigmatic members of the herpetofauna from the Lossiemouth Sandstone Formation (Upper Triassic) of Elgin (Moray, Scotland). For many years it was thought to be closely related to pterosaurs and dinosaurs, but the anatomy of this animal is difficult to interpret because of the notoriously poor ...

Were early pterosaurs inept terrestrial locomotors? [PDF]
, 2015 Pterodactyloid pterosaurs are widely interpreted as terrestrially competent, erect-limbed quadrupeds, but the terrestrial capabilities of non-pterodactyloids are largely thought to have been poor.

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2018 Six stages (OS1-6) were identified by Kellner (2015) to establish the ontogeny of a given pterosaur fossil. These were used to support the erection of several new Triassic taxa including Bergamodactylus wildi, which is based on a single specimen (MPUM ...

Comments on Triassic pterosaurs with discussion about ontogeny and description of new taxa
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015 Eudimorphodon ranzii was the first Triassic pterosaur to be described and several specimens have been referred to this taxon mainly based on the presence of multicuspid teeth.

Triassic pterosaur precursors of Brazil: catalog, evolutionary context, and a new hypothesis for phylogenetic relationships of Pterosauromorpha [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasPterosaurs, remarkable for their extensive evolutionary history and role as the first vertebrates to achieve active flight, have long intrigued paleontologists and the public alike. Spanning over 150 million years and vanishing at the end of the Mesozoic

Do cladistic and morphometric data capture common patterns of morphological disparity? [PDF]
, 2015 The distinctly non-random diversity of organismal form manifests itself in discrete clusters of taxa that share a common body plan. As a result, analyses of disparity require a scalable comparative framework.
