Archosauromorpha (Greek for "ruling lizard forms") is a clade of diapsid reptiles containing all reptiles more closely related to archosaurs (such as crocodilians and dinosaurs, including birds) rather than lepidosaurs (such as tuataras, lizards, and snakes). [1]
Archosauriformes (Greek for 'ruling lizards', and Latin for 'form') is a clade of diapsid reptiles encompassing archosaurs and some of their close relatives. It was defined by Jacques Gauthier (1994) as the clade stemming from the last common ancestor of Proterosuchidae and Archosauria. [3]
The pelvic anatomy of Cricosaurus and other metriorhynchids [41] and fossilized embryos belonging to the non-archosaur archosauromorph Dinocephalosaurus, [42] together suggest that the lack of viviparity among archosaurs may be a consequence of lineage-specific restrictions. [clarification needed]

Rhynchosaurs are a group of extinct herbivorous Triassic archosauromorph reptiles, belonging to the order Rhynchosauria. [1] Members of the group are distinguished by their triangular skulls and elongated, beak like premaxillary bones.
Evidence of the impact of function on the evolution of the lower jaw morphology in crocodile-line archosaurs is presented by Rawson et al. (2024). [16]A review of studies on the thermometabolism of crocodile-line archosaurs from the preceding 20 years is published by Faure-Brac (2024).
Azendohsauridae is a family of allokotosaurian archosauromorphs that lived during the Middle to Late Triassic period, around 242-216 million years ago. The family was originally named solely for the eponymous Azendohsaurus, marking out its distinctiveness from other allokotosaurs, [1] but as of 2022 the family now includes four other genera: the basal genus Pamelaria, the large horned ...
Tanystropheus (Ancient Greek: τανυ ~ 'long' + στροφευς 'hinged') is an extinct genus of archosauromorph reptile which lived during the Triassic Period in Europe, Asia, and North America. It is recognisable by its extremely elongated neck, longer than the torso and tail combined.
