Dietary constraints of phytosaurian reptiles revealed by dental microwear textural analysis

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Birmingham and colleagues from the University of have published the Article: Dietary constraints of phytosaurian reptiles revealed by dental microwear textural analysis, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 22/04/2020
  • what: The authors provide the first quantitative constraints of phytosaur diets, revealing that phytosaurs were predominantly carnivorous and/or piscivorous with few preferences for u2018harder` invertebrates.
