Archosaur Evolution is a theoretical framework within reptile paleontology that elucidates the phylogenetic development, morphological diversification, and temporal radiation of archosaurs—the clade including crocodilians, birds, and their extinct relatives—from their diapsid reptile ancestors during the Late Permian through the Mesozoic Era.
