2013 in archosaur paleontology
Overview of the events of 2013 in archosaur paleontology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
The year 2013 in Archosaur paleontology was eventful. Archosaurs include the only living dinosaur group — birds — and the reptile crocodilians, plus all extinct dinosaurs, extinct crocodilian relatives, and pterosaurs. Archosaur palaeontology is the scientific study of those animals, especially as they existed before the Holocene Epoch began about 10,000 years ago. The year 2013 in paleontology included various significant developments regarding archosaurs.
This article records new taxa of fossil archosaurs of every kind that have been described during the year 2013, as well as other significant discoveries and events related to paleontology of archosaurs that occurred in the year 2013.

Rodrigues & Kellner (2013) also considered it possible that "Pterodactylus" sedgwickii Owen (1859) belonged to the genus Camposipterus,[125] but subsequently it was made the type species of a separate genus Aerodraco.[126] |
