• Braincase evolution in suchian archosaurs (Reptilia: Diapsida): evidence from the rauisuchian Batrachotomus kupferzellensis (2002, background): “Saurosuchus galilei Reig is known from the Upper Triassic Ischigualasto Formation of Argentina. Braincase elements were not among the original material described by Reig (1959) or in two subsequent descriptive accounts (Reig, 1961; Sill, 1974), but a good and largely complete braincase was preserved”

Prestosuchus, MCZ 4167), and rauisuchians (e.g., Saurosuchus galilei, PVSJ 32 [Alcober, 2000], Arizonasaurus, MSM P4590).”
• Osteology of the Middle Triassic pseudosuchian archosaur Arizonasaurus babbitti (2005, background): “The nasal of Arizonasaurus is much like the nasal of Saurosuchus and Batrachotomus, all taper to a point.”
• The higher-level phylogeny of Archosauria (Tetrapoda: Diapsida) (2010, background): “…Norell 2006; Ferigolo & Langer 2007; Jalil & Peyer 2007; Irmis et al. 2007a), the discovery of important new material of previously-known taxa (e.g. Alcober 2000; Nesbitt 2003, 2005; Parker et al. 2005; Weinbaum & Hungerbühler 2007), and the reinterpretation and re-description of taxa (e.g.…”
• The Early Evolution of Archosaurs: Relationships and the Origin of Major Clades (2011, methodology): “Alcober (2000) also listed three autapomorphies focused on the frontal and surrounding bones (reduced postfrontal hidden in dorsal view, thickening of the border of the frontal at the level of the orbital fenestra, and presence of a lateral process of the posterolateral frontal).”
• Postcranial Anatomy of the Rauisuchian Archosaur Batrachotomus kupferzellensis (2009, background): “Some complete skulls (e.g., material referred to Saurosuchus galilei – Alcober, 2000; Prestosuchus – Barbarena, 1978; Youngosuchus – Sennikov in Kalandadze and Sennikov, 1985) are seemingly not associated with postcranial elements and although superficially similar to, for example, Batrachotomus…”
