This very interesting article was recently brought to my attention. It mentions several possibly new archosauriforms from the Middle Triassic of Germany, including a proterochampsid and a small bipedal form that could be a basal ornithodiran.

Another Article on the New Prestosuchus find from Brazil
Here is another news article on the absolutely beautiful partial articulated Prestosuchus specimen from Brazil. The skull looks complete and relatively undistorted, the cervical series appears to be present and in articulation, the scapulocoracoid is fused and absolutely huge, and there also appears to be a fused clavicle and interclavicle pretty much in place. A forelimb lies under the skull and ribs and other limb bones are at the back of the jacket. Phenomenal!
I do have to shake my head though at how the name "thecodont" made into an article published in 2010!
The photos below are from this article and here.
