has anybody mentioned SMOC is very similar to Smok, the polish word for "dragon", also used to name this carnivorous late triassic archosaur: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smok_wawelski

New, small, ancient #crocodile-like #reptile described in Brazil https://phys.org/news/2024-06-small-ancient-crocodile-reptile-brazil.html
A new small-sized predatory #pseudosuchian #archosaur from the Middle-Late Triassic https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-63313-3
"Prior to the dominance of the #dinosaurs, #pseudosuchians were a common form of quadruped reptile during the #Triassic (252—201 million years ago), with some species among the largest #carnivores of the time. Smaller pseudosuchians known as #gracilisuchids lived alongside these apex predators"
The discovery of a new, ancient, predatory reptile dubbed Parvosuchus aurelioi—part of a group of crocodile-like reptiles called pseudosuchians—in Brazil is described in a paper in Scientific Reports. The specimen, which dates to approximately 237 million years ago, during the Middle-Late Triassic, is the first small predatory reptile of its kind to be found in this country.
some people say
it's a dinosaur
other people say
it's actually
a non-dinosaur
dinosauriform
or a non-dinosauriform
dinosauromorph
or a pterosauromorph
or maybe even a
non-archosaur
archosauriform
or a non-archosauriform
archosauromorph
why
just the other day
I was sure
it was a dinosaur
or at least
somewhere near
the base
of the dinosaur tree
but keeps gettin' further
and further away it seems
I love the fact that all #birds and all #crocodiles share a recent common ancestor.
