Up to date, at least 50 species of Crocodylomorpha are known in Brazil. Those species are distributed in a temporal range from the Triassic to the present day. However, Crocodylomorpha records from the Brazilian Jurassic are quite scarce, and they have been often considered as lacking enough information for a proper systematic identification. In this study, we describe new Crocodylomorpha specimens, collected in Ibimirim city, Pernambuco state, Northeast of Brazil, where outcrops of the Aliança Formation (Upper Jurassic), Jatobá Basin, have been recorded. The specimens are represented by teeth, frontal plate, vertebrae, and osteoderms. Despite fragmented, these Crocodylomorpha remains allowed us, based mainly on morphological evidence in the teeth, to visualize intermediate characteristics between the Goniopholididae and Teleosauridae. The present work reveals the high, and still little explored, paleontological potential of the Aliança Formation in the understanding of the Brazilian Jurassic.

Jatobá盆地侏罗纪晚期的Aliança组(DomJoão期)仍保留了新的鳄形目。

迄今为止,在巴西已知至少有50种鳄鳄。这些物种分布在从三叠纪到今天的时间范围内。但是,巴西侏罗纪的鳄形鳄记录非常稀少,通常被认为缺乏足够的信息来进行适当的系统鉴定。在这项研究中,我们描述了在巴西东北伯南布哥州伊比米里姆市收集的新的鳄形标本,那里记录了贾托巴盆地阿里安卡组(侏罗纪上缘)的露头。标本以牙齿,额骨板,椎骨和真皮为代表。尽管支离破碎,但这些鳄尾藻仍使我们(主要基于牙齿的形态学证据)可视化了食角龙科和直齿龙科之间的中间特征。
