Archosaur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Archosaurs are a group of diapsid amniotes whose living representatives consist of birds and crocodilians. This group also includes all extinct dinosaurs, extinct crocodilian relatives, and pterosaurs. Archosauria, the archosaur clade, is a crown group that includes the most recent common ancestor of living birds and crocodilians.

Ornithosuchidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ornithosuchidae is an extinct family of reptiles from the Triassic period that were distantly related to crocodilians. They are classified as crurotarsan archosaurs.

Pseudosuchia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pseudosuchia ("false crocodiles") is one of two major divisions of Archosauria and includes living crocodilians and all archosaurs more closely related to crocodilians than to birds (what are often called "crocodilian-line archosaurs").

Hot News From Planet Archosaur - Scientific American Blog Network

Fossil hominins, weird extinct lizards and archaic turtles are all very nice but, let's be honest: when we talk about fossil tetrapods, the things we talk about the most are archosaurs... dinosaurs and their ilk in particular.
