Cast skull of a juvenile Saurolophus angustirostris (ZPAL-MgD-1/159) from the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia, in the collection of @ROMtoronto. These historic plaster casts are really amazing.

The study reveals the existence of four valid species of Mourasuchus and emphasizes the importance of taxonomic work on fossil crocodylomorph taxa. Further efforts are necessary to comprehend the exceptionally rich and diverse Cenozoic crocodylomorph fauna in South America.🐊⛏️

Dear paleotwitter. Once again our CGI mini-documentary "Life in the Past" is back! This time we focus on the newly described Alligator munensis from Thailand and its feeding behavior. Special thanks to @GDarlim for guiding us this time.

New microCT data on enigmatic Scleromochlus taylori reveal its anatomy & early diverging position within Pterosauromorpha & add important information on pterosaur origins, the 1st group of vertebrates to evolve powered flight. @davfof et al

Published today in Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (sciencedirect.com/science/ar…), an article co-authored by Max Langer and @Thiagosfachini reveals that notosuchians had a higher oxygen consumption than modern crocodilians during periods of intensive activity 🐊🇧🇷

The results show that these notosuchians were active hunters capable of taking in high levels of oxygen, enabling them to sustain extended running activities, similar to what is exhibited nowadays by large terrestrial varanids, such as Varanus giganteus, in the Australian desert

Congrats @BronzatiMario, and the co-authors! An excellent paper featuring PaleoLab contributions, describing the braincase of the lagerpetid Dromomeron gregorii (Archosauria: Avemetatarsalia) from the Late Triassic of USA! Celebrating his first of many as a new dad! 👶❤️⛏️

Checking once in a while to see who's still here and drop some art. Here's one of three commissions I did last year for a thematic restaurant. This one depicts the classic Brazilian triassic period.
