World, here is your Crocodile Brain Encyclopedia. Our new paper, which details the internal cranial anatomy of over 43 crocodylian species is finally out! Read here: doi.org/10.1111/joa.... @pdmannion.bsky.social

Computed tomography reveals the endocranial anatomy of Crocodylia: Implications for phylogenetic relationships and ecomorphological convergence across Crocodylomorpha

The evaluation of the endocranial anatomy of 43 crocodylian species reveals several differences, including variation in the curvature of the encephalic endocast, the size of the endosseous labyrinth ...

If you've ever wondered what the inside of a crocodile's skull looks like, wonder no more! Here are 43 of them in our new paper led by @palaeoburke.bsky.social in which we evaluate endocranial anatomy across extant + fossil crocodylians 🐊: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @es-ucl.bsky.social

Endocranial anatomy of the earliest cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae

We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT-scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone...

A re-evaluation of the notosuchian crocodyliform Eremosuchus elkoholicus from the lower Eocene of Algeria and the evolutionary and biogeographic history of sebecids

Notosuchian systematics have been highly debated in recent decades, particularly the placement of sebecids and closely related species. As the only notosuchian lineage to have survived the Cretaceo...

repping UCL at #SVP2025

Making my way home after a great #SVP2025 in Birmingham, thank you for everyone who gave me such lovely, kind feedback after my Romer talk!! Big up the crocs 🐊

at least I’m honest!

#2025SVP @palaeoburke.bsky.social: “I hypothesized that these might be osteological correlates for salt glands in a paper last year. I’m probably wrong.”

Last week I successfully defended my PhD and became a doctor of crocs! 🐊
