Cranial anatomy and neuroanatomical features of a new specimen of Geosaurini (Crocodylomorpha: Metriorhynchidae) from west-central Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-02)
Fossil records of Geosaurini taxa in South American margins of the Eastern Pacific are scarce. We describe a new specimen of Geosaurini found in sedimentites of the Vaca Muerta Formation (Substeueroceras koeneni Biozone, ...
Convergent evolution and possible constraint in the posterodorsal retraction of the external nares in pelagic crocodylomorphs
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-06)
Amongst Mesozoic marine reptiles, metriorhynchid crocodylomorphs were unique in evolving into pelagically adapted forms with little-to-no posterodorsal retraction of the external nares. Narial retraction is a common ...
Purranisaurus Potens Rusconi, an enigmatic Metriorhynchid from the late jurassic–early cretaceous of the Neuquen Basin
(Society Of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2015)
The Tithonian record from northwestern Patagonia (Neuquén Basin) documents a complete succession of lower, middle, and late Tithonian marine reptiles. From the late Tithonian–early Berriasian of Patagonia, three marine ...
The Cranial Osteology and Feeding Ecology of the Metriorhynchid Crocodylomorph Genera Dakosaurus and Plesiosuchus from the Late Jurassic of Europe
(Public Library of Science, 2012-09)
Background: Dakosaurus and Plesiosuchus are characteristic genera of aquatic, large-bodied, macrophagous metriorhynchid crocodylomorphs. Recent studies show that these genera were apex predators in marine ecosystems during ...
