Braincase anatomy of the Paleocene crocodyliform Rhabdognathus revealed through high resolution computed tomography
Dyrosaurids were highly specialized, largely marine, relatives of living crocodylians, and one of the few archosaur lineages to survive the K-Pg extinction. Dyrosaurids lived during the Cretaceous to the Eocene and represent a unique combination of morphology and ecology not seen in living crocodyli...
