The Animal in the Logo

Ticinosuchus ferox KREBS, 1965
2.5 M 243 MYA

Systematics: Rauisuchidae, Suchia, Pseudosuchia, Crurotarsi, Archosauria, Diapsida, Reptilia
Habitat: terestrial; lowlands

A terrestrial predator from the Besano Formation (= Grenzbitumenzone, Middle Triassic) of Monte San Giorgio, Switzerland, that is amongst others characterized by a vertical ankle joint (LAUTENSCHLAGER & DESOJO 2011, NESBITT 2011).

With the description of the vertical ankle joint (= crocodiloid tarsus) in Ticinosuchus and Crocodylia by KREBS (1963, 1965, 1973, 1976) it was for the first time possible to establish a sister group relationship within the «Thecodontia» OWEN, 1859 («animals with rooted teeth»), the now obsolete former waste basket for early archosaurs. The discovery of the vertical ankle joint was the basis for the modern classification of the Archosauria («ruling reptiles»), namely the dichotomous subdivision of its crown-groups into Crurotarsi (= Crocodilotarsi) with a vertical ankle joint and Ornithodira (pterosaurs, dinosaurs and their relatives) with an advanced mesotarsal ankle joint.
