Journal ArticleDOI
A New Baurusuchid (Crocodyliformes, Mesoeucrocodylia) from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil and the Phylogeny of Baurusuchidae
TL;DR: A new baurusuchid is described from the Vale do Rio do Peixe Formation, Late Cretaceous of Brazil with a suite of characters that include four maxillary teeth, supratemporal fenestra with equally developed medial and anterior rims, and an equally large morphological gap between the clade and its immediate outgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI
An additional Baurusuchid from the cretaceous of Brazil with evidence of interspecific predation among crocodyliformes.
TL;DR: This discovery confirms that baurusuchids were top predators of their time, with sphagesaurid crocodyliforms occupying a lower trophic position, possibly with a more generalist diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversification events and the effects of mass extinctions on Crocodyliformes evolutionary history
TL;DR: The rich fossil record of Crocodyliformes shows a much greater diversity in the past than today in terms of morphological disparity and occupation of niches, and topology-based analyses seeking diversification shifts along the evolutionary history of the group support previous arguments for a minor impact of the Cretaceous/Palaeogene mass extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new neosuchian with Asian affinities from the Jurassic of northeastern Brazil.
TL;DR: The crocodyloid-like skull proportions and the slender, conical teeth suggest an amphibious and piscivorous life history to this 1 m long animal.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Late Triassic Ischigualasto Formation at Cerro Las Lajas (La Rioja, Argentina): fossil tetrapods, high-resolution chronostratigraphy, and faunal correlations

TL;DR: The temporally calibrated Ischigualasto biostratigraphy suggests the persistence of rhynchosaur-dominated faunas into the earliest Norian, and partially fills the ghost lineage between younger ornithischian records and the oldest known saurischians at ca.
