A study on the skull morphology of Hupehsuchus nanchangensis, based on data from new specimens from the Lower Triassic Jialingjiang Formation (), is published by Fang et al. (2023), who find the shape of the skull roof and snout of H. nanchangensis to be highly convergent with modern baleen whales, and interpret Hupehsuchus as likely employing continuous ram filter feeding as in extant bowhead ...
