An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

This fossil, which was found in 2004, near the town of Monte Alto, in San Paulo state is very well preserved and quite complete. Most importantly, skull material has been found and this can help to link this fossil specimen with today’s modern crocodiles. It would have grown to about 2 metres in length and would have been an active predator of smaller animals including dinosaurs. Perhaps it was more terrestrial than its modern descendants, using its semi-upright gait to pursue prey.
