Comptes Rendus Palevol 21 (17): 349-361, DOI: 10.5852/cr-palevol2022v21a17, URL: doi.org/10.5852/cr-palevol2022v21a17 ABSTRACT Mariliasuchus amarali Carvalho & Bertini, 1999 was a terrestrial quadruped crocodyliform from the Late Cretaceous of the Bauru Group, Brazil. In this paper we present the first study of the bone histology of this species. Moderate growth rate, interspersed by growth marks, was observed in thin sections of a rib and appendicular bones; growth patterns observed in M. amarali s appear similar to those observed in Triassic archosauriforms.
