Braincase anatomy and palaeoneurology of Venetoraptor gassenae, a lagerpetid pterosauromorph from the Late Triassic of southern Brazil

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, 2026.
Abstract There is a growing consensus that pterosaurs and the flightless Lagerpetidae are closely related. This relationship is supported by apomorphies throughout the skeleton, including endocranial character states such as a well‐developed floccular fossa and a tall anterior semicircular canal. Our knowledge of lagerpetid anatomy has been improved by

Discussão sobre a dieta alimentar dos rincossauros (Diapsida, Archosauromorpha) do Neotriássico com base em evidências morfológicas, biomecânicas e botânicas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Os rincossauros do Neotriássico (Hyperodapedontidae) apresentam uma característica anatômica única no reino animal: as extremidades do dentário e das pré-maxilas encontram-se externas à boca, em um arranjo funcionalmente similar ao de um bico de ave, sem

Novas informações sobre a morfologia dentária de Hyperodapedontinae (Archosauromorpha, Rhynchosauria) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Rhynchosauria é um grupo de Archosauromorpha basais, com registro fóssil restrito ao período Triássico. Eram formas herbívoras com um peculiar aparato mastigatório caracterizado por pré-maxilares voltados ventralmente, formando um “bico”, e um sistema de

Sobreviventes: diversificação de Archosauromorpha após a Extinção Permo-Triássica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
: The Archosauromorpha is defined as the clade that comprises all diapsids more closely related to the lineage of birds (Ornithodira or Avemetatarsalia) and crocodylians (Pseudosuchia or Crurotarsi) than to Lepidosauria. In addition to their ‘basal’ taxa

Assessing predator–prey interactions during the Late Triassic of India from bite marks onHyperodapedon(Archosauromorpha, Rhynchosauria)

open access: yesJournal of Vertebrate Paleontology
Multiple cranial and mandibular remains of Hyperodapedon huxleyi known from the lower part of the Upper Triassic Maleri Formation were examined to reveal distinct bite marks. These were identified as punctures based on their circular or oval or elliptical outline and deep penetration into the cortical bone, and were found associated with several bone ...
