Functional and phylogenetic signals in the pectoral girdle of Thalattosuchia and Dyrosauridae (Crocodylomorpha)
Crocodylomorphs have colonized various environments from fully terrestrial to fully aquatic, making it an important clade among archosaurs. A remarkable example of the rich past diversity of Crocodyl....

Lite fler havsåtervändare. Because why not.
Flera gamla "krokodilsläktingar" drog faktiskt tillbaka till havet. T.ex. gruppen Thalattosuchia som levde under jura och inledningen av krita. Men det finns det också en tidigare reptilgrupp, Thalattosauroidea, som stack till havs under Trias.
