The cranial morphology of Tanystropheus hydroides (Tanystropheidae, Archosauromorpha) as revealed by synchrotron microtomography [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 The postcranial morphology of the extremely long-necked Tanystropheus hydroides is well-known, but observations of skull morphology were previously limited due to compression of the known specimens.

A new phylogenetic hypothesis of Tanystropheidae (Diapsida, Archosauromorpha) and other “protorosaurs”, and its implications for the early evolution of stem archosaurs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The historical clade “Protorosauria” represents an important group of archosauromorph reptiles that had a wide geographic distribution between the Late Permian and Late Triassic.

A new archosauromorph from South America provides insights on the early diversification of tanystropheids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 After the Permo-Triassic mass extinction, the archosauromorph fossil record is comparatively abundant and ecologically diverse. Among early archosauromorphs, tanystropheids gained considerable attention due to the presence of extreme skeletal adaptations

The locomotor ecomorphology of Mesozoic marine reptiles
Palaeontology, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2023., 2023 Abstract The aftermath of the end‐Permian mass extinction provided ecological opportunities for many groups of reptiles, marking the beginning of reptile dominance of the Mesozoic oceans. Clades such as ichthyosaurs, thalattosuchians, sauropterygians, mosasaurs and turtles evolved a remarkable diversity of ecological niches and became important ...

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 NEW PROLACERTIFORM REPTILE FROM THE LATE TRIASSIC OF NORTHERN ITALY
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017 A new diapsid reptile is described from the locality of Cene (Seriana Valley, near Bergamo, Lombardy, Northern ltaly) from an outcrop of the Calcare di Zorzino (Zorzino Limestone) Formation (Middle Norian, Late Triassic).

Palaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 3, May/June 2024.Abstract The small diapsid reptile Ozimek volans is one of the most enigmatic representatives of the Late Triassic fauna of Krasiejów, Poland. Phylogenetically, Ozimek was identified as a ‘protorosaurian’ related to tanystropheids, but the extremely elongated limbs and presumed gliding abilities are unusual for this group.
