Environment and life

Lips in archosauromorph reptiles: the evidence from the Triassic period of Brazil

A new study suggests that the presence of extraoral soft tissues — labial scales or "lips" for short — was not unique to extant lepidosaur reptiles (lizards, snakes, and tuataras), but rather represents the primitive condition for all reptiles, including archosauromorphs that lived during the Triassic period more than 240 million years ago.
