... Bathonian (Riccardi, personal commun., 2003; Fig. 2 ). PV-6913-MOZ is referred to the Metriorhynchidae because of the following characters: preorbitary fenestra elongate and oriented anteriorly and upward, lachrymal small exclusively lateral in position, lachrymal with a depression on the lateral...

... présente une dent de pliosaure du Bathonien de Bernay-en-Champagne qui serait la plus ancienne découverte d’un représentant de ce groupe. Deux autres aquarelles montrent une portion de mandibule d’un crocodylomorphe marin (Thalattosuchia, Metriorhynchidae indéterminé) et une vertèbre de plésiosaurien...

..., the close affinities between the South American and the European Metriorhynchidae from the Callovian to the Tithonian suggest the possibility that more and more frequent communications were made via the Caribbean Corridor. The new data corroborate the hypothesis formulated from the invertebrate faunas...

..., that transitioned to a fully marine pelagic lifestyle. This transition occurred during the Jurassic, which therefore represents a key time in the evolutionary history of the group. Thalattosuchia is divided into two subgroups: Metriorhynchoidea, which includes the fully aquatic Metriorhynchidae ( Young et al...

... it has been reported only in Orthosuchus [ Nash, 1975 ], in the Metriorhynchidae [ Andrews, 1913 ] and in Pholidosaurus and Sarcosuchus [ Clark, 1994 ]. Ten vertebrae, almost complete to fragmentary, are present: atlas and axis, two post-axial cervicals, two dorsals, one sacral, and four...

... probablement causé la mort de l’animal. The Metriorhynchidae, Fitzinger 1843 are marine crocodilians that, according to present knowledge, only occurred in the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. Within the subfamily Metriorhynchinae Fitzinger 1843 , Vignaud ( 1995 ) included the Teleidosauridea...

... as larger species. Such a pattern has been observed in Metriorhynchidae: species with similar ecologies have a wide size range and different prey (Young et al. 2011 ). However, V . leptognathus lived at a high paleolatitude, which may explain its low inferred paleotemperature (see Supplementary File 1...

... analyses of the most comprehensive matrices for crocodyliform relationships ( Clark, 1994 ) support the monophyly of a clade including thalattosuchians (Metriorhynchidae, Teleosauridae, Pelagosaurus ), known primarily from the Jurassic; Pholidosauridae, known from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous...

... endothermic. Since then, new studies brought more data to this subject. Hence, Séon et al. ( 2020 ) used isotopic geochemistry to infer the body temperature ( T b ) of thalattosuchians. They inferred ectothermy in Teleosauridae, and a more complex picture in Metriorhynchidae, interpreted as being...
