The year 2017 in archosaur paleontology was eventful. Archosaurs include the only living dinosaur group — birds — and the reptile crocodilians, plus all extinct dinosaurs, extinct crocodilian relatives, and pterosaurs. Archosaur palaeontology is the scientific study of those animals, especially as they existed before the Holocene Epoch began about 11,700 years ago. The year 2017 in paleontology included various significant developments regarding archosaurs.

This article records new taxa of fossil archosaurs of every kind that have been described during the year 2017, as well as other significant discoveries and events related to paleontology of archosaurs that occurred in the year 2017.

Pterosaurs

Research

A study on the body size evolution in pterosaurs, especially on whether Bergmann's rule can be shown to apply to pterosaurs, is published by Villalobos et al. (2017).[306]
A study on the occurrence of competition and ecological separation between pterosaurs and birds as indicated by analyses of functionally equivalent morphological characters of lower jaw, fore- and hindlimbs is published by Chan (2017).[307]

New specimen of Kunpengopterus sinensis, providing new information on the anatomy of members of the species, is described from the Upper Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation (China) by Cheng et al. (2017).[312]
An accumulation of hundreds of eggs (some of which contain embryonic remains) of Hamipterus tianshanensis is reported from the Lower Cretaceous of China by Wang et al. (2017), who interpret the finding as evidence of colonial nesting and potential nesting site fidelity in pterosaurs, and argue that the hatchlings might have been flightless and not as precocial as previously thought.[313]

Funston, Martin-Silverstone & Currie (2017) describe a fossil specimen from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Dinosaur Park Formation (Canada), interpreted as a partial pterosaur pelvis (tentatively referred to Azhdarchidae), which if confirmed would represent the first described pelvic material from a North American azhdarchid;[320] however, this specimen is subsequently reinterpreted as a broken tyrannosaurid squamosal.[321]
A description of a neck vertebra of a probable member of the genus Hatzegopteryx recovered from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Sebeş Formation (Romania) and a study on the implications of the vertebra's anatomy for the neck length and ecology of Hatzegopteryx is published by Naish & Witton (2017).[322]
