A new eusuchian crocodyliform with novel cranial integument and its significance for the origin and evolution of Crocodylia.
Crocodyliforms were one of the most successful groups of Mesozoic tetrapods, radiating into terrestrial, semiaquatic and marine environments, while occupying numerous trophic niches, including carnivorous, insectivorous, herbivorous, and piscivorous species.
