“…Dyrosaurid remains have been found both in marine ( Buffetaut, 1976 , 1978a ; Jouve et al, 2005 , 2006 ; Schwarz, Frey & Martin, 2006 ; Barbosa, Kellner & Viana, 2008 ; Jouve et al, 2008 ; Schwarz-Wings, Frey & Martin, 2009 ; Shiller, Porras-Muzquiz & Lehman, 2016 ; Sena et al, 2017 ; Martin, Sarr & Hautier, 2019 ; de Souza et al, 2019 ; Jouve & Jalil, 2020 ) and freshwater ( Buffetaut, 1978a ; Khosla et al, 2009 ; Hastings, Bloch & Jaramillo, 2011 ; Hastings, Bloch & Jaramillo, 2014 ; de Souza et al, 2019 ) deposits, and are usually pictured as large ‘crocodiles’ ( Buffetaut, 1976 , 1978a , 1980 ; Langston, 1995 , Schwarz-Wings, Frey & Martin, 2009 ), although some taxa were fairly small (≤3 m) ( Jouve, Bouya & Amaghzaz, 2005 ; Hastings et al, 2010 ; Hastings, Bloch & Jaramillo, 2014 ). The relative importance of fossils in marine deposits suggests that dyrosaurids mainly thrived in coastal environments ( Troxell, 1925 ; Buffetaut, 1976 ; Denton, Dobie & Parris, 1997 ; Jouve et al, 2006 ; Schwarz, Frey & Martin, 2006 ; Jouve et al, 2005 ; Barbosa, Kellner & Viana, 2008 ; Jouve et al, 2008 , Salih et al, 2015 ; Shiller, Porras-Muzquiz & Lehman, 2016 ; Sena et al, 2017 ; Martin, Sarr & Hautier, 2019 ; Jouve & Jalil, 2020 ); two lineages from South America ( Cerrejonisuchus–Anthracosuchus , and Acherontisuchus ) likely inhabited freshwater environments ( Hastings, Bloch & Jaramillo, 2011 , 2014 ; Wilberg, Turner & Brochu, 2019 ), whereas other freshwater dyrosaurids have also been found in Asia ( Buffetaut, 1978a ) and India ( Khosla et al, 2009 ). Yet, ’marine dyrosaurids’ may have actually inhabited both environments during their lifespan, with youngs living in freshwater environments and adults transitioning to t...…”
