    Evidence of the impact of the interplay of abiotic and biotic processes on the evolution of pseudosuchians is presented by Payne et al. (2023). [13]A study on the biomechanical properties of the skull of Riojasuchus tenuisceps is published by Taborda, Von Baczko & Desojo (2023), who propose that R. tenuisceps could have had a wading habit, feeding on small-sizey prey caught from the shoreline.

  3. Spinosaurus - Wikipedia

    Using the dimensions of three specimens known as MSNM V4047, UCPC-2, and BSP 1912 VIII 19, and assuming that the postorbital part of the skull of MSNM V4047 had a shape similar to the postorbital part of the skull of Irritator, Dal Sasso and colleagues (2005) estimated that the skull of Spinosaurus was 1.75 meters (5.7 ft) long, [14] but more ...

    Kuzmin et al. (2024) present the reconstruction of the Kansajsuchus extensus and note the presence of significant differences in the braincase structure of pholidosaurids and dyrosaurids, questioning the close affinity of the two groups. [55] Redescription of the anatomy of the skull of Acynodon adriaticus is published by Muscioni et al. (2024 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinosauridae

    Annotated skull diagram of Spinosaurus. Spinosaurid skulls—similar in many respects to those of crocodilians—were long, low and narrow. [17] As in other theropods, various fenestrae (openings) in the skull aided in reducing its weight. In spinosaurs however, the antorbital fenestrae were greatly reduced, akin to those of crocodilians. [30]

  6. Sigilmassasaurus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigilmassasaurus

    Neck reconstructions of Sigilmassasaurus (top) and Baryonyx. The validity of Sigilmassaurus, however, did not go unchallenged shortly after it was named.In 1996, Paul Sereno and colleagues described a Carcharodontosaurus skull (SGM-Din-1) from Morocco, as well as a neck vertebra (SGM-Din-3) which resembled that of "Spinosaurus B," which they therefore synonymized with Carcharodontosaurus. [11]

    The whale's remains suggest it's a smaller relative of Basilosaurus cetoides, which lived along Alabama's coast 34-40 million years ago.

  8. Ceratosuchops - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratosuchops

    In 2023, Sereno and colleagues tentatively combined Ceratosuchops and Riparovenator into a single taxonomic unit for their phylogenetic analysis. They reason that the different features between the two taxa could be attributed to individual variation, citing the cranial variation present in specimens of Allosaurus fragilis .

    Description of the anatomy of the inner skull cavities of Diplocynodon tormis is published by Serrano-Martínez et al. (2025). [13] Pligersdorffer, Burke & Mannion (2025) reconstruct the endocranial anatomy of Argochampsa krebsi, and report evidence of presence of salt glands in the studied gavialoid. [14]
