Abstract (en):
Crocodylia [Gmelin, 1789], originalmente Crocodili, es un orden con distribución circuntropical, aunque algunas especies actualmente ocupan áreas cálidas de la zona temperada. Los cocodrilos vivientes tienen sus ancestros en los protosuchios del triásico superior. Este grupo desapareció hace cerca de 195 millones de años y sólo hasta eljurásico inferior se encuentran nuevos cocodrilos del suborden Mesosuchia, los cuales, después de una espectacular radiación adaptativa, desaparecen y dan paso, durante el cretácico, a formas más avanzadas, los eusuchios, grupo al cual pertenecen los actuales cocodrilos.
