The phylogenetics of Teleosauroidea (Crocodylomorpha, Thalattosuchia) and implications for their ecology and evolution [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Teleosauroidea was a clade of ancient crocodylomorphs that were a key element of coastal marine environments during the Jurassic. Despite a 300-year research history and a recent renaissance in the study of their morphology and taxonomy ...

Virtual reconstruction of the endocranial anatomy of the early Jurassic marine crocodylomorph Pelagosaurus typus (Thalattosuchia) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Thalattosuchians were highly specialised aquatic archosaurs of the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, and represent a peak of aquatic adaptation among crocodylomorphs. Relatively little is known of their endocranial anatomy or its relevance for the evolution

Tooth serration morphologies in the genus Machimosaurus (Crocodylomorpha, Thalattosuchia) from the Late Jurassic of Europe [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2014 Machimosaurus was a large-bodied durophagous/chelonivorous genus of teleosaurid crocodylomorph that lived in shallow marine and brackish ecosystems during the Late Jurassic. Among teleosaurids, Machimosaurus and its sister taxon ‘Steneosaurus’ obtusidens

Integrative paleophysiology of the metriorhynchoid Pelagosaurus typus (Pseudosuchia, Thalattosuchia). [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)AbstractPaleophysiology is an emergent discipline. Organismic (integrative) approaches seem more appropriate than studies focusing on the variation of specific features because traits are tightly related in actual organisms. Here, we used such an organismic approach (including lifestyle, thermometabolism, and hunting behavior) to understand the ...

Addendum to ‘Revision of the Late Jurassic teleosaurid genus Machimosaurus (Crocodylomorpha, Thalattosuchia)’ [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Abstract Machimosaurus is a large teleosaurid thalattosuchian, a marine crocodylomorph historically recovered from Upper Jurassic strata of Europe. Several fragmentary remains are assignable to this genus but only four complete skulls have been reported, two of which are currently unavailable for study. A recent revision of the material assigned to

, 2023 Thalattosuchia indet. Une vertèbre dorsale étiquetée Machimosaurus hugii par Sauvage est toujours présente dans la collection Combes (Fig. 28 D-E). Endommagée, seule sa face antérieure permet de se rendre compte de sa morphologie. Le contour du centrum est similaire à celui de la vertèbre figurée par Sauvage sous ce nom (Fig. 28 L-M).

The Jurassic Thalattosuchia (Crocodyliformes) of Chile; a paleobiogeographic approach [PDF]
Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France, 2000 Abstract The thalattosuchian fossils from the Jurassic of Chile are revised. Some specimens, dating from the Lower Lias (Sinemurian), are the oldest known thalattosuchians, but are too fragmentary to establish a precise taxonomic placement. New specimen related to the genus Metriorhynchus is described from the lower Bajocian.

Form and function of the pelvic girdle of Thalattosuchia and Dyrosauridae (Crocodyliformes) [PDF]
GeodiversitasCrocodyliformes Hay, 1930 represents an important group of archosaurs that is currently restricted to twenty-eight species of semi-aquatic ambush predators. However, the extensive fossil record of Crocodyliformes indicates this group was much more diverse in the past and had a complex evolutionary history, rhythmed by a series of extinction events.

The youngest record of metriorhynchid crocodylomorphs, with implications for the extinction of Thalattosuchia [PDF]
Cretaceous Research, 2015 Here we describe an isolated tooth of a metriorhynchid crocodylomorph from the Hybla Formation (Aptian, Lower Cretaceous) of Rocca Chi Parra quarry (Montagna Grande, Calatafimi, Trapani Province), Sicily, Italy. The specimen shares with the Upper Jurassic taxon Plesiosuchus manselii a mediolaterally compressed conical tooth crown, noticeable lingual ...
