Compared to Richard Attenborough who was 5’7” or 1.702 meters in height. Obviously Barina is a big animal and I felt the visual difference was necessary.

Tiny Fossil Reveals New Species of Cretaceous Crocodile in Montana

A 2021 dig in Montana’s Blackleaf Formation uncovered a tiny 2‑ft juvenile crocodyliform skull, dubbed “Elton,” now named Thikarisuchus xenodentes and dated to about 95 million years ago. getnews.me/tiny-fossil-reveals-new-... #montana #crocodyliform

Happy #FossilFriday! Meet #Thikarisuchus xenodentes (#MOR11969)! The skull of this small #Cretaceous #crocodyliform fits in the palm of your hand. Thikarisuchus was named this week in a Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology paper by #MontanaStateUniversity alumnus Harrison Allen and colleagues.

A new specimen of the early branching crocodyliform Platyognathus hsui extends the record of gobiosuchids back 67 million years Abstract. Crocodyliforms are poorly known from the Early Jurassic Lufeng Formation of China, and a new specimen of Platyognathus hsui is by far the most co

Artistic reconstruction of two Caipirasuchus--one of which appears to be vocalizing to the other one. They are walking on all fours and have long, thick tails. They appear to be in a forest, and either pine cones were really big at that time or these animals were really small.
