Numerous well-preserved skeletal remains of a distinctive armoured archosauriform reptile from the Lower Keuper (Erfurt Formation; Middle Triassic: Ladinian: Longobardian) of Baden-Württemberg (Germany) represent a new taxon, Jaxtasuchus salomoni gen. et sp. nov. The dermal armour of Jaxtasuchus comprises transverse rows of four rectangular osteoderms each in the cervical, dorsal and caudal regions, with the individual plates closely resembling those of Doswellia kaltenbachi from Carnian strata…

A New Archosauriform Reptile with Distinctive Teeth from the Middle Triassic (Ladinian) of Germany
ABSTRACT Skeletal remains of a small reptile with a distinctive dentition from the Lower Keuper (Erfurt Formation; Middle Triassic, Ladinian) of the Schumann quarry near Eschenau, in the municipality…
Doswelliidae: a clade of unusual armoured archosauriforms from the Middle and Late Triassic
Abstract Doswelliidae is a clade of armoured non-archosaurian archosauriform reptiles more closely related to Archosauria than are Proterosuchidae, Erythrosuchidae and possibly Euparkeria capensis.…
A New Lepidosauromorph Reptile from the Middle Triassic (Ladinian) of Germany and Its Phylogenetic Relationships
TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis recovered Fraxinisaura rozynekae among Lepidosauromorpha and as the sister taxon of the Middle to Late Jurassic Marmoretta oxoniensis, but currently existing character-taxon matrices do not allow confident resolution of the interrelationships of these and other early Mesozoic lepidosauromorph reptiles.
Heteropelta boboi n. gen., n. sp. an armored archosauriform (Reptilia: Archosauromorpha) from the Middle Triassic of Italy
Heteropelta boboi is a new archosauriform reptile from the upper Anisian of northeastern Italy represented by a fragment of dorsal armor with a row of neural arches of the dorsal vertebrae. The…
A New Diapsid with a Unique Tooth Structure from the Middle Triassic (Ladinian) of Germany
ABSTRACT The Middle Triassic was an important time in the evolutionary history of reptiles because it was during this time that many modern groups originated and initially diversified. In this…
A Detailed Description of Rugarhynchos sixmilensis, gen. et comb. nov. (Archosauriformes, Proterochampsia), and Cranial Convergence in Snout Elongation across Stem and Crown Archosaurs
TLDR
The results suggest that crown archosaurs evolved disparate crania from a low-disparate archosauriform condition, and the diagnosis of the taxon is substantially modified and a new genus is erected, Rugarhynchos sixmilensis.
The osteology and systematic position of Dongusuchus efremovi Sennikov, 1988 from the Anisian (Middle Triassic) of Russia
TLDR
A phylogenetic analysis recovers Dongusuchus efremovi as an early-diverging, non-archosaurian archosauriform and suggests that the limb morphology of Dongusucha may be plesiomorphic for Archosauria and proximal clades.
A new armored archosauriform (Diapsida: Archosauromorpha) from the marine Middle Triassic of China, with implications for the diverse life styles of archosauriforms prior to the diversification of Archosauria
TLDR
The phylogenetic analyses suggest that Litorosuchus is a stem archosaur closely related to the aberrant Vancleavea just outside of Archosauria, and the well-preserved skeleton of L. somnii represents one of the best-supported cases of a semi-aquatic mode of life for a stemarchosaur.
Tetrapod diversity and palaeoecology in the German Middle Triassic (Lower Keuper) documented by tooth morphotypes
TLDR
The Lower Keuper assemblages are dominated by diapsid reptiles, especially archosauriforms, and unlike in the more or less coeval tetrapod communities from Gondwana, gomphodont cynodonts are represented only by a single molariform tooth to date, whereas avemetatarsalian archosaurs are entirely absent.
Osteology of the Middle Triassic stem-turtle Pappochelys rosinae and the early evolution of the turtle skeleton
TLDR
A phylogenetic analysis using a modified character-taxon matrix from a recent study to assess the placement of Pappochelys among amniotes found it to nest among Pantestudines with Eunotosaurus and the more derived Odontochelys and Proganochelys.

The skull of the Early Triassic archosauromorph reptile Prolacerta broomi and its phylogenetic significance
TLDR

An unusual new archosauriform from the Middle–Late Triassic of southern Brazil and the monophyly of Doswelliidae
TLDR
The phylogenetic analysis indicates that Doswellidae is the closest large monophyletic entity to Archosauria, which achieved a wide palaeolatitudinal distribution during the late Middle and Late Triassic time span.

TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis suggests that Trematolestes is closely related to the Madagascan genus Tertremoides and together they are nested with the rostrum-bearing slender-headed lonchorhynchines.
The osteology and relationships of Vancleavea campi (Reptilia: Archosauriformes)
TLDR
Vancleavea campi from the Late Triassic of western North America, represents the latest surviving non-archosaurian archosauriform known to date and is found to be more closely related to Archosauria than both Erythrosuchus and Proterosuchus, but outside of the crown group.
Anatomy and Phylogenetic Relationships of Boreogomphodon jeffersoni (Cynodontia: Gomphodontia) from the Upper Triassic of Virginia
TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis suggests the existence of a clade comprising Boreogomphodon plus two other taxa in the Northern Hemisphere that is the sister group to most other known Middle and Late Triassic traversodonts from Gondwana.

TLDR
It is suggested that a trend towards the reduction of the anterior pterygoid muscle took place in aetosaurids, in parallel with a similar trend in ornithischian dinosaurs.

TLDR
This study demonstrates that a detailed analysis of the cranial anatomy and the rigorous application of cladistic principles to identified character states help to clarify current inconsistencies in the taxonomy and nomenclature of phytosaurs.
