Analysis of tetrapod footprints and skeletal material from more than 70 localities in eastern North America shows that large theropod dinosaurs appeared less than 10,000 years after the Triassic-Jurassic boundary, marking the establishment of dinosaur-dominated communities that prevailed for the next 135 million years.

A detailed description of the skull and part of the mandible of the crocodyliform reptile Hamadasuchus rebouli from the Kem Kem beds of south-eastern Morocco is presented, lending further support to the biogeographical hypothesis that faunal connections existed between Africa and South America well into mid-Cretaceous times.

The discovery of dinosaurian skeletons from Lower Cretaceous beds in the southern Sahara shows that several lineages of tetanuran theropods and broad-toothed sauropods had a cosmopolitan distribution across Pangaea before the onset of continental fragmentation.
Anatomy and phylogenetic relationships of Chimaerasuchus paradoxus, an unusual crocodyliform reptile from the Lower Cretaceous of Hubei, China

Phylogenetic analysis indicates a sister-group relationship between Chimaerasuchus and Notosuchus, and between that clade and an as yet unnamed notosuchid from the Lower Cretaceous of Malawi, which casts further doubts on previous claims concerning the endemic distribution of the NotOSuchidae and other “Gondwanan” tetrapod taxa during the Cret Jurassic.
Redescription and Phylogenetic Relationships of Doswellia kaltenbachi (Diapsida: Archosauriformes) from the Upper Triassic of Virginia
Results include a sister-group relationship between Doswellia and proterochampsids, placement of Qianosuchus as a crurotarsan archosaur, and Yonghesuchus and Turfanosuchu as successive sister taxa to Archosauria.

The new specimen includes many bones previously unknown for Postosuchus and it allows a more complete differentiation of Postosuchsus from other ‘rauisuchian’ genera.

Phylogenetic analysis indicates that Anzu is most closely related to Caenagnathus collinsi, a taxon that is definitively known only from a mandible from the Campanian Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, and the problematic oviraptorosaurs Microvenator and Gigantoraptor are recovered as basal caenagnaths, as has previously been suggested.
