FIGURE 1. Location map and stratigraphic section showing the geographic and stratigraphic distribution of Revueltosaurus and Krzyzanowskisaurus. This includes the localites of the Revueltosaurus (NMMNH locality 1) and Krzyzanowskisaurus (UCMP locality 7307) teeth described here. Tooth illustrations after Heckert (2002, 2005). LVF = land vertebrate faunachron (following Lucas et al., 2007); L-1171 = type location of Krzyzanowskisaurus hunti; PFV = locality yielding abundant Revueltosaurus fossils in the Petrified Forest National Park.

FIGURE 2. Generalized archosaurian phylogeny showing the relationships of taxa sampled by Sander (1999) and Hwang (2005) (in black) as well as Revueltosaurus (red) and Krzyzanowskisaurus (blue). Dashed lines demonstrate the two hypothesized positions of Krzyzanowskisaurus, either as a crurotarsan closely allied to Revueltosaurus (e.g., Parker et al., 2005; Irmis et al., 2007) or a basal ornithischian (Heckert, 2002, 2005).

FIGURE 3. Variation in enamel thickness in the teeth of Revueltosaurus callenderi. 1-9, premaxillary tooth (P-33799); 10-14, maxillary tooth (P-33798). 1, overview of premaxillary tooth indicating approximate place where measurements and micrographs shown in this figure and Figure 4 were taken; 2-9, close-up views showing enamel thickness variation, with enamel-dentine junction (EDJ) oriented relative to overview in (1); and 10, overview of maxillary tooth section, indicating approximate place where measurements and micrographs shown in this figure and Figure 5 were taken; 11-14, close-up views showing enamel thickness variation, with enamel-dentine junction (EDJ) oriented relative to overview in (10). Scale bars equal 100 µm except for 1 (5 mm), 2 (10 µm), and 10 (2 mm). Click to see image close-ups.
