The unique outer ear of crocodylians consists of a large meatal chamber (MC) concealed by a pair of muscular earlids that shape a large part of the animal's head. This chamber is limited medially by the enlarged tympanic ...

With fossils found worldwide, Crocodyliformes stands as one of the best documented vertebrates over the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. The multiple phylogenetic hypotheses of relationship proposed for the group allow plenty of ...

The southern supercontinent of Gondwana was home to an extraordinary diversity of stem-crocodylians (Crocodyliformes) during the Late Cretaceous. The remarkable morphological disparity of notosuchian crocodyliforms indicates ...

Baurusuchidae is a clade of terrestrial crocodyliforms that thrived during the Late Cretaceous in South America. The members of this clade occupied top-predator roles in their habitats. Knowledge about the anatomy, the ...

Elosuchidae é uma família de crocodiliformes fósseis, que apresenta como característica, a longirostria (rostro alongado). Sendo que a longirostria é um caráter que apareceu diversas vezes convergentemente em diferentes ...

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. We conducted topology-based analyses seeking diversification ...

Después de la extinción del Cretácico-Paleógeno, los crocodiliformes patagónicos son registrados en las capas terciarias de forma menos diversa y escasa. El especimen aquí descrito proviene de la localidad Puerta del Diablo, ...

Protosuchids are known from the Late Triassic to the Early Cretaceous and form a basal clade of Crocodyliformes. We report here a new protosuchid crocodyliform, Coloradisuchus abelini, gen. et sp. nov., from the middle ...
