New Prehistoric Sea Crocodile Discovered
I just love anything prehistoric so an article caught my eye that said that scientists claim to have discovered a new prehistoric sea crocodile in Brazil. The pointy nosed crocodiles may have joined sharks as the dominant predators in the world's oceans some 62 million years ago. The Brazilian scientists unveiled one of the most complete skeletons found yet of the prehistoric animals. This sheds new light on the evolutionary history of modern crocodiles. The fossil includes a skull, jaw bone and vertebrae, making it one of the most complete examples of marine crocodylomorphs collected so far in South America. It is a very rare find and it gives rise to several new theories. It is very interesting.
