So that we're not making Geos of this and Dracos of that. Lets make it clear here what will take what niche

here are mine:
Ichthyosaurs: Fast pelagic/coastal predators like dolphins and orcas.
Nothosaurs: Otter and seal niche
Plesiosaurs: Sperm whale-like slender creatures, attacking shoals of squid, belamites, and ammonites.
Fictodilophids: Medium sized scavangers and fish eaters like flightless herons and jackals.
Geosuchids: Mustlid analogs

Just letting you know these guys live to the present but may be more or less diverse. I will make some groups that do go extinct(Protogeosuchids for example.)

So what other niches will be filled and what new ones will be made?

Aecornatosuchid: Migrating dracosuchids that specilize in coastal and oceanic fishing.
Camposuchids: Dracosuchids the specilize in hunting small to mid sized game in the forests and plains.
Psuedodracosuchids: Flightless branch of dracosuchids that also hunt along the forests.
AveoPsuedodracosuchids: A secondary branch of the Psuedoracosuchids that redeveloped short term flight.

The like button should suffice for that, methinks.

Meh why not for emphasis.

Also

Aquatic Dicynodonts: Tropical herbivores that can't come back to land, tusked animals that live in cooler areas where Doswelliids can't live, and Desmostylian analogs that eat shellfish and possibly other things like plants.

Earth prime analogs to these^^^: manatee, walrus, hippo

DK1000, You had ideas for dicynodonts before. Care to elaborate on groups, niches, and adaptions of them?

You showed a platybelodont analog before too BTW.
