We have just published a dyrosaurid crocodile from the Maastrictian of Angola. Despite the fragmentary remains, they provide interesting phylogenetic information. Thanks to Arthur Maréchal for his great work!

Here a nice illustration of the ocean by Victor Carvalho

This study was led by researchers from Universidade Nova de Lisboa and @unizar (Aragosaurus, Universidad de Zaragoza). The fossil will be on display at @MuseudaLourinha soon. Don’t miss the chance to see it in person! 📜🔬

Baracromians were fast, streamlined marine reptiles adapted for deep diving. Gadusaurus lived ~190 Ma during a marine transgression, hunting fish and mollusks off the Jurassic coast of modern-day Portugal. 🌊🦑

The name Gadusaurus aqualigneus refers to its codfish-like shape (Gadus in latin) and the site where it was found. Its skull shows a large nasal foramen and two symmetrical grooves, features that make it unique among Baracromian ichthyosaurs. 🐟🦕

In 2021, teacher Isabel Roldão found a fossil-bearing rock at Praia de Água de Madeiros (Portugal). After removing the sediment, she revealed an almost complete ichthyosaur skull and contacted @MuseudaLourinha, launching an international research with Spain

🦕🌊 A 190-million-year-old cod-reptile? Meet Gadusaurus aqualigneus, the first ichthyosaur species ever named from the Iberian Peninsula! Its nearly complete skull, found in Portugal, is the best-preserved ichthyosaur fossil from the country. 🧵👇

Yesterday we published a new article on reptiles from the Late Jurassic of Portugal. Welcome, Marmoretta drescherae. Congratulations to Alex for this outstanding work 👏

Ayer tuve el placer de ser tribunal de la tesis doctoral de Diego Torromé, enhorabuena a él y todo el equipo por su excelente trabajo. Un orgullo.
