Hi all, While this article unfortunately does not appear to be open-access, and I therefore don't actually have access to it myself even, the abstract and names associated with it seemed significant enough to share. Because, while greatly understudied, thalattosuchia, everybody's favourite clade of marine crocodiles, has just received a new phylogeny. One that introduces two new nomina - neothalattosuchia and euthalattosuchia - and the (presumably) tribal name of dakosaurina, as well as redefined the core characters of thalattosuchia as a whole. The origins of the clade in crocodylomorpha are also explored, though no resolution seems to have been found for this question. Overall, this seems a significant publication for marine reptile palaeobiology! Youg et al. (2024). The history, systematics, and nomenclature of Thalattosuchia (Archosauria: Crocodylomorpha). Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society.

Greetings! I am glad to be here. I work with living crocodilians and have a growing interest in their ancestors, specifically the Crocodylomorphs (I often just call them "crocs" when in the Paleo context). I have a small, but growing collection of fossils. I'm interested in learning of others' "croc" fossil finds, knowledge and experience, and to share mine, as well. I have been since I was a child in awe of these remarkable Archosaur-line reptiles that survived the dinosaur extinction event and swim in my backyard today. I enjoyed browsing the photos and threads related to "crocs" and look forward to my experiences here. Thanks for having me, and thank you to the founders and moderators/administrators of this fine forum.
