Goniopholis
Taxonomy
Goniopholis was named by Owen (1842) [Owen describes this as a "subgenus" but does not indicate which genus it belongs to.]. It is the type genus of Goniopholinae. It was considered monophyletic by Karl et al. (2006).
It was assigned to Crocodilia by Owen (1842); to Saurii by Meyer (1845); to Crocodilidae by d'Orbigny (1849); to Amphicoelia by Owen (1860) and Owen (1861); to Goniopholinae by Nopcsa (1928); to Goniophididae by Carroll (1988); to Mesoeucrocodylia by Pol and Norell (2004); to Goniopholidae by Dollo (1884), Hay (1902), Delair (1958), Salisbury et al. (1999), Martin and Buffetaut (2012) and Pritchard et al. (2013); to Neosuchia by Ortega et al. (2000), Sereno et al. (2003), Turner (2006), Zaher et al. (2006), Larsson and Sues (2007), Fiorelli and Calvo (2008), Nascimento and Zaher (2011) and Sertich and O'Connor (2014); and to Goniopholididae by Cope (1875), Hay (1930), Buffetaut and Ingavat (1983), Tykoski et al.

M. B. d. Andrade et al. 2011 | Neosuchian crocodylomorphs with the following combination of characteristics: platyrostral mesorostrine-sublongirostrine skull, laterally expanded premaxillae, shaped like an axe blade in dorsal view; naris dorsally orientated; perinarial crests present, robust and larger lateral to the naris; naso-oral fossa longer than wider, diamond-shaped; maxilla festooned, with well-defined anterior wave, projecting laterally and ventrally; deep maxillary depressions facing laterally, located next to the jugal suture, with abrupt margins around its entire perimeter and complex internal structure (i.e. divided internally by dorsoventrally orientated ridges); periorbital crests present and robust in structure; dorsal periorbital crest extending on lachrymal-prefrontal surfaces, next to the anterodorsal-dorsal border of the orbit, and presenting a notch at the prefrontal-lachrymal suture; ventral orbital crest formed by projecting jugal margin, which is deflected anterior to the orbit and delimits the ventral edge of a lachrymal fossa; anterior border of the orbit composed by lachrymal and jugal; extensive scar for the attachment of palpebral, reaching at least the lachrymal and prefrontal; frontal and postorbital in contact with palpebral; single palpebral with an overall triangular shape, firmly attached to the primary orbital border, and creating a secondary orbital border; frontal anterior process in a lower level relative to its main body; frontal anterior process separated from main body by a strong transfrontal crest, transversally orientated and bearing a medial buttress; frontal and prefrontal participating in the primary orbital border, but excluded from secondary orbital border (shared with Protosuchidae, Peirosauridae, and other Goniopoholididae) by the palpebral; postorbital with anterolateral process present, robust and short; supratemporal fossae medium to large, and square-shaped to subrectangular in shape; anterior face of palatine process at palate is truncated, with suture transversely orientated. |
