Postcranial Osteology of Azendohsaurus madagaskarensis (?Middle to Upper Triassic, Isalo Group, Madagascar) and its Systematic Position Among Stem Archosaur Reptiles (2015, background): “The first shift, during the early portion of the Middle Triassic, involved early-diverging archosauromorphs (rhynchosaurs, Allokotosauria), non-dinosaurian ornithodirans (silesaurids), and gomphodont cynodonts (Reisz and Sues, 2000).”
Late Permian (Lopingian) terrestrial ecosystems: A global comparison with new data from the low-latitude Bletterbach Biota (2017, background): “Pareiasaurs, for example, had leaf-shaped, cuspidate marginal teeth for puncturing and tearing apart fibrous plants (Munk and Sues, 1993; Lee, 1997; Reisz and Sues, 2000).”
The distribution of dental features in non-avian theropod dinosaurs: Taxonomic potential, degree of homoplasy, and major evolutionary trends (2019, background): “Folidonty is related to herbivory (Zanno and Makovicky, 2011; Pu et al., 2013) and omnivory (Holtz et al., 1998; Barrett, 2000; Longrich, 2008) as leaf-shaped teeth are suitable for puncturing, tearing apart and shredding fibrous plant fodder and/or small prey (Reisz and Sues, 2000; Sues, 2000).”
