Originating approximately 250 million years ago, the Archosauria ("Ruling Reptiles") became one of the most diverse and successful clades of vertebrates on earth. However, many of the amazing creatures that are a part of that diversity are often overshadowed by the poster children of the archosaurs - the dinosaurs. This blog looks at those often forgotten archosaurs, focusing especially on the croc-line, but occasionally looking at the bird-line and even outside of crown-group Archosauria.

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween Everyone! This year, I decided to carve my pumpkin as Smilosuchus. I got a lot of compliments from trick-or-treeters, although a lot thought it was a dinosaur. A few managed to guess it was a crocodile, which I figured was close enough for 8-year-olds. Did anyone else carve paleo-inspired pumpkins?
Alright, I'm off to Vegas. See you all at SVP!
