The braincase and inner ear of ‘Metriorhynchus’ cf. ‘M.’ brachyrhynchus–implications for aquatic sensory adaptations in crocodylomorphs
During their long evolutionary history crocodylomorphs achieved a great diversity of body sizes, ecomorphotypes and inferred feeding ecologies. One unique group of crocodylomorphs are the thalattosuchians, which lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous (ca. 191–125 Ma). They transitioned from shallow marine species, like teleosauroids, into fully pelagic forms with paddle...Schwab, Julia A ; Young, Mark T ; Herrera, Yanina ; Witmer, Lawrence M ; Walsh, Stig A …

Cutting the Gordian knot: A historical and taxonomic revision of the Jurassic crocodylomorph Metriorhynchus
Metriorhynchidae was a clade of extinct crocodylomorphs that adapted to a pelagic lifestyle, becoming a key component of Mesozoic lagoonal and coastal marine ecosystems. The type genus Metriorhynchus is one of the best-known genera of Mesozoic crocodylomorphs, and since the mid-19th century, the ‘concept’ of Metriorhynchus has become associated with the referred species Me. superciliosus. Historically Metriorhynchus has...Young, Mark T ; Brignon, Arnaud ; Sachs, Sven ; Hornung, Jahn J ; Foffa, Davide …

Analysis of historical dyes in heritage objects, Analytical Methods Committee, AMCTB No. 101
Dye analysis can considerably enhance our understanding of the provenance of materials used in the production of historical objects. Knowledge of the individual constituents of any dyestuff not only facilitates its identification, but also provides important information regarding the rate of photo-degradation of the dye’s components; this can in turn...Troalen, Lore ; Hulme, Alison N
