Field work in Zambia and Tanzania from 2009 to 2019 has uncovered exciting new fossils of reptiles that were the ancestors of both crocodiles and birds. These fossils are Mesozoic (Permian and Triassic) in age and are important to our understanding of the evolution of present-day vertebrates. These assemblages, combined with radiometric dating, allow us to correlate the Luangwa Basin of Zambia with the paleontology of other basins.
