Another new ref



Another neat one came out to the library this morning

Carvalho, I.S. & R.J. Bertini. 1999. Mariliasuchus:
um novo Crocodylomorpha (Notosuchia) do
Cretaceo da Bacia Bauru, Brasil. Geologia
Colombiana No. 24:83-105. [In Portugese]

A new notosuchian with a cute head. Notosuchia
are common Gondwana terretrial components and
this one is from the Adamantina/Aracatuba Fm. of
the Baura Group of the Baura Basin, Marilia Co.,
Brazil. Possibly Coniacian in age. Small skull with
small rostrum. Specimen has a good part of the axial
skeleton with some appendicular material as well.

Anyway, neat to have another crocoid around.
