| Abstract: | In the present contribution we focus on an overview of the Cenozoic crocodylians of Sardinia (Italy). Crocodylians from this Italian island have been published since the second half of the 19th Century and a number of papers reported on the presence of these vertebrates in 16 different localities. The remains, some of which apparently lost, are mainly represented by isolated teeth housed in historical collections of different museums (in Italy and The Netherlands) that in most cases have never been figured or described. We illustrate for the first time and provide brief descriptions of all crocodylian teeth collected in the island as well as of the still available holotype of Tomistoma calaritanum, the only crocodylian taxon established on material from Sardinia. In addition, we report crocodylian remains from two new localities, one of which testifies the presence of these vertebrates already in the Eocene record of the island. |
