Teyujagua paradoxa
My version of the newly discovered Teyujagua paradoxa of Early Triassic Brazil - a well-preserved skull indicates that it was an early close relative of the Archosaurs (dinosaurs, birds, pterosaurs and crocodiles).

Last week, a new Triassic reptile from Brazil was named by Dr. Felipe Pinheiro and colleagues. Read what Dr. Pinheiro had to say about why Teyujagua is significant in archosauriform evolution, the group that includes birds, crocodiles, dinosaurs, and pterosaurs!
BREAKING EXTINCT ANIMAL NEWS:
Behold Teyujagua, a reptile species newly discovered in Brazil that lived right after the massive Permo-Triassic extinction at the end of the Permian. It is potentially an important transitional fossil between more primitive reptiles and the dinosaurs (plus birds, crocodiles, etc.) that would take advantage of the new ecological vacuum that the extinction created. Exciting stuff!
