Quick recap of this guy seems in order because tho the material itself may not be the most impressive, theres some fascinating implications behind this guy.

• #Kongonaphon, um #Ornithodira basal do Triássico, saltando para se locomover pelo cenário;

• #Armdillosuchus, um #Notosuchia brasileiro do Cretáceo, cheio de cicatrizes e machucados após uma briga feia, mas esse é experiente.

Little fun fact, when suggesting this composition to Joschua, part of the idea was that a recent study found resonance chambers in Caipirasuchus, which further ties into improved hearing in baurusuchids, which might suggest that these animals were a lot more sound-based

Massive clutch of fossil crocodyliform eggs 🐊🥚at the Paleontological Museum of Marilia, Brazil.

These were recently discovered by William Nava at Adamantina Formation (Late Cretaceous) outcrops #paleontology #notosuchia

#throwback to this highly productive 2021 field campaign when we collected three Baurusuchid 🐊 skulls! #paleontology #notosuchia #fieldwork

Cranial and postcranial anatomy of a juvenile baurusuchid (Notosuchia, Crocodylomorpha) and the taxonomical implications of ontogeny Baurusuchidae comprises a clade of top-tier terrestrial predators and are among the most abundant crocodyliforms found in the Adamantina Formation, Bauru Basin, Brazil (Campanian-Maastrichtian). Here....

To all to the croc fanatics out there: my most recent publication 📖 on the osteology of a mostly complete juvenile baurusuchid 🐊!

We also highlight osteological correlatives of ontogeny that may be used for other crocodyliform clades #paleontology #notosuchia
