Figure 6. Phylogenetic placement of Susisuchidae.

Reduced strict consensus of 108 equally optimal trees recovered from maximum parsimony analysis of 101 ingroup taxa and 318 phenotypic characters. Trees rooted on Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. Bernissartia fagesii was excluded during calculation of the strict consensus (but not during the parsimony analysis) due to the conflicting locations it can take in the most parsimonious trees. The two equally optimal positions of Bernissartia fagesii are shown with dotted line (length = 1,662; CI = 0.239; RI = 0.700). Susisuchidae node has Bremer value of 4 and a GC value of 57. See Fig. 7D for the strict consensus topology not excluding Bernissartia during calculation.
