Hoplosuchus kayi, apex predator of the morrison, ate sauropodds alive by the regular, and is in serious need of a CT scanning and revision since it was described as a late-surviving aetosaur in 1926 discovered in a fun way too, here's an article by Riley Black www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...

i dont trust finite element analyses for absolute values instead of comparative ones, cuz according to one of them, the animal on the bottom has a stronger posterior biteforce than the one at the top

Little noodle Rhacheosaurus (has extensive preserved skin and muscle btw) and the chonky fella Suchodus durobrivensis (although there are more species in there ngl)

Tinguiririca is famous for having the earliest fossil mammal assemblage dominated by hypsodonts, but we found that none of the ungulates had mesowear signals consistent with eating grass, supporting decoupling between grassland expansion and hypsodonty

More people need to talk about how Dakosaurus is objectively the coolest looking sea reptile in all of Earth's history. No mosasaur, Pliosaur, Ichthyosaur or whatever else has ever managed to look a single bit as cool as the perpetually pissed off sea croc with infinite aura Dakosaurus is

Ambush! During a warm sunrise on eocene Europe a large Iberosuchus surprises a duo of small Lophiodontid mammals Painted here in the moment the croc uses the inertia of the attack and strong neck muscles to raise the creature up, before crashing it down on the soil to subdue it

Dakosaurus andiniensis, the shortest-snouted sea-croc and one of my favorite fossils everrrr And Geosaurus, first named as an unusually large species of modern Lacerta in 1816, it was an emblematic fossil animal during paleontology's early history throughout the 19th century

theres this orgasmic moment with a heavingly modulation in chopins 2nd impromptu but it then gets followed by a flourish of up-and-down scales, & it makes me a bit sad i havent found a pianist who keeps on with the previous momentum to squeeze all the beauty out of it

Plesiosuchus! a robust, giant sea-croc, among the largest known (as usual for metris, its skull has never been properly restored in lateral view) large, closely-packed teeth & lack of occlusal pits for them show they didn't interlock like a gharial as usual, but more orca-like

Most of every single second of my waking hour is geared to add to my legacy drop by drop, "legacy" being pretty pictures and references that will outlast me and people will care about, unlike things such as "how lonely was he in life?"

And here's my Phasmatosuchus reference! a truly insane croc the alveoli+needle teeth faced laterally, quite possibly indicating a saw-fish like hunting method, its extremely unique, and sadly obscure (although the upcoming formal publication might help with that!)

One of the most insane eusuchians ive ever seen, informally named Phasmatosuchus in a 2019 phd it showcases an INSANELY long snout, *and* there are no traces of the posterior process of the premaxilla, meaning there's STILL a sizeable portion of the snout missing

im so happy for this im gonna cry, really proud and thankful of everyone involved, several experts lending their conservations efforts have paid off, and 460 Orinoco crocodiles have been freed to the wild and hopefully bounce this species back from extinction, insta post below

𝘛𝘩𝘦 Thalattosuchus (or 𝘵𝘩𝘦 Metriorhynchus superciliosus..? the split has received pushback but oh well) a lot of this taxon's modern paleoart is based on a plastery/chimeric mount with too many cervical and too few caudal vertebrae its got hundreds of specimens! :P

And then one of the biggest and baddest: Dakosaurus maximus metriorhynchid skull diagrams are very rarely well reconstructed in lateral view on the literature- their teeth always have to interlock like a gharial, including the short-snouted macropredatory ones like this guy

Metriorhynchid extravaganza Suchodus brachyrhynchus? previously Metriorhynchus but probably a new genus, rlly complete Cricosaurus and the very basal Zoneait
