Say hello to Macroprosopon hiltoni, "[Eric J.] Hilton's long face". This long-snouted fossil bonytongue was a relative of today's freshwater arapaima, but it lived in Moroccan seas 50 million years ago!

🚨Check out our new paper on humerus variation across turtles! 🐢🐢🐢 We describe it for all major groups w/ novel, standardized terms, come up w/ new phylo characters & assess their discrete morpho disparity! doi.org/10.1002/ar.254… DM/email me for questions and/or critics 😉

New croc paper alert! 🚨🐊 I'm happy to share the results of great teamwork effort, led by Juan Martin Leardi. In light of the recent publication of the Phylonyms, we present the phylogenetic nomenclature of notosuchian crocodylomorphs. mapress.com/bpn/article/vi…

New paper! Two new fossil crocodylian from the Miocene of Argentina: Paranacaiman bravardi and Paranasuchus gasparinae! doi.org/10.1080/147720… If you'd like a Pdf, send me a dm! #fossil #crocs #paleontology

New Peirosauridae from Brazil just dropped! 🚨🐊 Meet Epoidesuchus tavaresae, from the Adamantina Formation (Late Cretaceous), a new pepesuchine peirosaurid, which was long-snouted and semiaquiatic. The great paleoart below was done by Guilherme Gehr. anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar…

Study on Acynodon adriaticus from Late Cretaceous Italy reveals durophagous adaptations! MicroCT shows robust skull, specialized molariform teeth. This small croc foraged for hard-shelled prey in turbid, freshwater habitats. Muscioni et al: doi.org/10.1002/ar.255… #FossilFriday

Ever wondered how giant Miocene crocodylians (e.g. Purussaurus and Mourasuchus) attained such large sizes? In this new paper led by PhD student Ana Laura S. Paiva, we show that climate of the Western Amazonian region played a key role! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Follow the thread 🧵 👇

Check our new paper out today in Wiley Ecology & Evolution ! 🐢🦴📈 Fully open access here: doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7… 🧵 1/n

Crocodylomorphs were once far more diverse than they are today. 🐊 Fossils from Brazil’s Late Cretaceous Bauru Group include terrestrial notosuchians w/varied ecology. New analysis of Barreirosuchus franciscoi reveals semiaquatic abilities Fachini et al.: doi.org/10.1002/ar.256…

(1/n) 🚨Croc paper alert ! It's finally out! Please welcome Thilastikosuchus scutorectangularis 🐊 the first crocodyliform from the Sanfranciscana Basin, Brazil! I'd like to thank Joyce for inviting me to collaborate, I had a great time 😀 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
