Colobops: a juvenile rhynchocephalian reptile (Lepidosauromorpha), not a diminutive archosauromorph with an unusually strong bite [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Correctly identifying taxa at the root of major clades or the oldest clade-representatives is critical for meaningful interpretations of evolution. A small, partially crushed skull from the Late Triassic (Norian) of Connecticut, USA, originally described

The braincase of Mesosuchus browni (Reptilia, Archosauromorpha) with information on the inner ear and description of a pneumatic sinus [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Rhynchosauria is a group of archosauromorph reptiles abundant in terrestrial ecosystems of the Middle Triassic. Mesosuchus is one of the earliest and basalmost rhynchosaurs, playing an important role not only for the understanding of the evolution of the

The early evolution of rhynchosaurs [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 The rhynchosaurian archosauromorphs are an important and diverse group of fossil tetrapods that first appeared during the Early Triassic and probably became extinct during the early Late Triassic (early Norian).

A new species of basal rhynchosaur (Diapsida: Archosauromorpha) from the early Middle Triassic of South Africa, and the early evolution of Rhynchosauria [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016 Rhynchosauria was an important clade of herbivorous archosauromorph reptiles during the Triassic, with a worldwide distribution. We describe a new genus and species of early rhynchosaur, Eohyosaurus wolvaardti gen. et sp. nov., from the early Middle Triassic (early Anisian) CynognathusAssemblage Zone (Subzone B) of the Karoo Supergroup, South Africa ...

Comptes Rendus - Palevol, 2016 Abstract The bone histology of non-archosauriform archosauromorphs is understudied but is important for tracing the evolution of growth in archosaurs and their closest relatives. Here, we describe the femoral and tibial histology of a single individual of Stenaulorhynchus stockleyi , a Middle Triassic rhynchosaur from Tanzania.

Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2229-2257, October 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT The morphology of the temporal region in the tetrapod skull traditionally has been a widely discussed feature of vertebrate anatomy. The evolution of different temporal openings in Amniota (mammals, birds, and reptiles), Lissamphibia (frogs, salamanders, and caecilians), and several extinct tetrapod groups has sparked debates on the ...

Osteohistology of hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs from the Upper Triassic of Southern Brazil [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2015 The first osteohistological study focused exclusively on rhynchosaurs (non-archosauriform archosauromorphs), based on the hyperodapedontines Teyumbaita sulcognathus and Hyperodapedon sp., from the Upper Triassic of Southern Brazil, indicates a relatively
