Although the first known crocodyloids appeared in the Maastrichtian (around 72.1 66.0 million years ago), that lineage must have been present during the Campanian, and the earliest alligatoroids and gavialoids include highly derived forms, which indicates that the time of the actual divergence between the three lineages must have been a pre-Campanian event.

This lack of conservation of core NCLDV genes is all the more striking considering the huge genome size of Pandoraviruses compared to the other NCLDV and suggests that Pandoraviruses are highly derived forms.
In contrast, the assumption of the general conservation of expression has been used to assign homology of highly derived organs to putative ancestral forms [ 10- 14].
An unavoidable drawback, however, is that typically the extant forms are highly derived and disparate with the result that the natures of common ancestors are often matters for unconstrained speculation.
