Palate evolution in early‐branching crocodylomorphs: Implications for homology, systematics, and ecomorphology

Living crocodylomorphs have an ossified secondary palate with a posteriorly positioned choana that enables their semi‐aquatic, predatory ecology. In contrast, the earliest branching members of Crocodylomorpha have an open palate with anteriorly positioned choanae. The evolution of an ossified second...
