  • File:GorgonHead.png Sarcosuchus was a large crocodilian from the Cretaceous. It was one of the largest crocodilians to ever exist.
  • Sarcosuchus is a giant crocodile from the Early Cretaceous, and it was virtually as big as Deinosuchus; reaching twelve metres in length and eight tonnes in weight. It lived in Africa and South America, where it hunted dinosaurs such as iguanodonts and sauropods.
  • C'est le paléontologue Philippe Taquet qui a découvert les premiers restes de Sarcosuchus imperator en 1964, sur le site de Gadoufaoua, dans le désert du Ténéré, au Niger. D'autres fossiles de ce reptile ont également été déterrés au Brésil (au Crétacé, l'Afrique et l'Amérique du Sud ne formaient qu'un seul et même continent, le Gondwana), et plus récemment, en 2000, une équipe du National Geographic, menée par le paléontologue Paul Sereno, a découvert un squelette quasiment complet de Sarcosuchus dans le désert du Sahara.
  • Sarcosuchus was a massive crocodilian from the [Cretaceous] of South America. It lived alongside various dinosaurs, but unlike Deinosuchus, Sarcosuchus had a narrow snout and probably did not feed on dinosaurs.
  • Itsarcosuchus was the biggest crocodillian ever,it was so big and powerfull that it could pick fully grown dinosaurs up in its jaws and drag it under the water.it was twice the size of a normal saltwater crocodile and weighed 8 to 10 tonnes. it usually took on large dinosaurs but mainly went for herbivours as they wernt agressive as carnovour.
  • Sarcosuchus is an extinct genus of crocodyliform and distant relative of the Gavialidae that lived 112 million years ago. It dates from the early Cretaceous Period of what is now Africa and South America and is one of the largest crocodile-like reptiles that ever lived. It was almost twice as long as the modern saltwater crocodile and weighed up to 8 tonnes.
  • The first time it appears disguises itself as a stone and Littlefoot tried to jump on it. It tried to bite him but was trodden on by Sue. Later it attacks his friends as they pass through. It almost eats Petrie but Cera accidentally makes a log land on it. (it wasn't really red - it's an effect used several times in LBT but never before this drastically, only the sky) Five more appear in The Amazing Threehorn Girl. They come into the Great Valley through a hole in the Great Wall. Two chase the gang. They go after Cera when she goes the other way from the rest but are scared away when she knocks down some rocks by accident. The characters believe they have left the valley and the adults seal the opening - but ominously there is no sign of the crocodilians, the reason being that they have no
  • Sarcosuchus was one of the largest giant crocodile-like reptiles that ever lived. It was almost twice as long as the modern saltwater crocodile and weighed about 8 to 10 metric tons. Its skull was as big as a human (1.78 m, or 5 ft 10 inches). The upper jaw overlapped the lower jaw, making an overbite. The jaws were quite slim (especially in juveniles). The snout is made up of about 75% of the skull's length. The teeth were cone-shaped, built to grab and hold, like those of true crocodilians, which, most of the time, kill prey by holding them underwater until they drown.
  • Sarcosuchus (meaning 'flesh crocodile' and commonly called "SuperCroc", is an extinct genus of crocodyliform and distant relative of the crocodile. It dates from the early Cretaceous Period of what is now Africa and is one of the largest giant crocodile-like reptiles that ever lived. It was almost twice as long as the modern saltwater crocodile and weighed approximately 8 to 10 tonnes.
  • The first remains were discovered during several expeditions led by the French paleontologist Albert-Félix de Lapparent, spanning from 1946 to 1959, in the Sahara Desert. These remains were fragments of the skull, vertebrae, teeth and scutes. In 1964, an almost complete skull was found in Niger by the French CEA, but it was not until 1997 and 2000 that most of its anatomy became known to science, when an expedition led by the American paleontologist Paul Sereno discovered six new specimens, including one with about half the skeleton intact and most of the spine.
