A unique predator in a unique ecosystem: modelling the apex predator within a Late Cretaceous crocodyliform‐dominated fauna from Brazil
Theropod dinosaurs were relatively scarce in the Late Cretaceous ecosystems of southeast
Brazil. Instead, hypercarnivorous crocodyliforms known as baurusuchids were abundant …

Structure and evolutionary implications of the earliest (Sinemurian, Early Jurassic) dinosaur eggs and eggshells
One of the fossil record's most puzzling features is the absence of preserved eggs or
eggshell for the first third of the known 315 million year history of amniote evolution. Our …

Cranial morphology and phylogenetic reassessment of Barreirosuchus franciscoi (Crocodylomorpha, Notosuchia), a Peirosauria from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil
With nearly 30 living species of relatively similar ecological traits, Crocodylomorpha is
represented today by only a small fraction of its past diversity. The well‐documented …

Evidence for heterochrony in the cranial evolution of fossil crocodyliforms
The southern supercontinent of Gondwana was home to an extraordinary diversity of stem‐
crocodylians (Crocodyliformes) during the Late Cretaceous. The remarkable morphological …

A large-sized mesoeucrocodylian from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil with possible neosuchian affinities
Most crocodyliforms of the Bauru Group were found in rocks of the Adamantina Formation,
whereas the younger Marília Formation is almost devoid of such fossils. Here, we provide a …

A new species of vocalizing crocodyliform (Notosuchia, Sphagesauridae) from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil
Caipirasuchus is a genus of sphagesaurid notosuchian from the Bauru Basin (Upper
Cretaceous), southeast Brazil. They were small-sized herbivorous/omnivorous animals, that …

Fossildiagenesis and ontogenetic insights of crocodyliform bones from the Adamantina Formation, Bauru Basin, Brazil
The histological analysis of fossil bones allows a taphonomic approach, especially to
fossildiagenesis. We studied the femur, vertebra, and osteoderm of the crocodyliform …
