The long-term ecology and evolution of marine reptiles in a Jurassic seaway
Marine reptiles flourished in the Mesozoic oceans, filling ecological roles today dominated
by crocodylians, large fish, sharks and cetaceans. Many groups of these reptiles coexisted …

The braincase and neurosensory anatomy of an Early Jurassic marine crocodylomorph: implications for crocodylian sinus evolution and sensory transitions
Modern crocodylians are a morphologically conservative group, but extinct relatives

The history, systematics, and nomenclature of Thalattosuchia (Archosauria: Crocodylomorpha)
The use of more than one nomenclatural code is becoming increasingly common in some
biological sub-disciplines. To minimize nomenclatural instability, we have decided to …
