Love this. Fantastic new study confirming the archosaur position of turtles. And not solely based on molecular data of living species, but now underpinned by anatomical evidence from fossils.
Great combo of CT, fossils, Bayesian phylogenetics. Congrats to @semifossorial.bsky.social & team.

Our paper on turtle origins is finally out in Current Biology, with two major implications for our understanding of reptile evolution 🐢
