<SPAN CLASS="ABSTRACT-TESTO">A PHYTOSAUR SKULL FROM THE NORIAN (LATE TRIASSIC) OF LOMBARDY (NORTHERN ITALY)</em>

An isolated phytosaur skull found in the Calcare di Zorzino (Norian, Late Triassic), near the locality of Endenna (Bergamo Prealps, Lombardy, Northern Italy), is described. The skull lacks the mandible and is severely compressed and distorted in its posterior portion. Nevertheless it is possible to...
