Article Synopsis
- The fossil record of sphenodontians in South America is mostly known from Argentina's Mesozoic and Paleogene deposits, primarily featuring opisthodontians related to the extant Sphenodon.
- In contrast, Brazil’s contribution is limited to the Late Triassic Caturrita Formation in Rio Grande do Sul, where several specimens of Clevosauridae, including Clevosaurus brasiliensis, have been found.
- A systematic revision based on the specimen MCN-PV 2852 suggests a need for further phylogenetic analysis of the Clevosauridae family to better understand their evolutionary relationships and distinct species.
