Fun little thing I just stumbled across. Apparently a male gharial is also known as a ghadiala, a term derived from the protuberance on their snout (known as a ghara after a type of earthen pot)

Let’s replace all the horse evolution displays (which misrepresent evolution as linear and goal-oriented) with chaotic tableaus of all the shapes crocodiles have been #FossilFriday

I keep forgetting to post this, but here is a quick scaling of the Potwar Plateau skull, a specimen once assigned to Rhamphosuchus but has recently suggested to be its own thing. #paleontology

I’ve spent the last 2 weeks studying Neosteneosaurus, a relative of crocodilians that once lived in the seas of the Middle Jurassic, and is now on display at the Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery #FossilFriday

Presenting the crocodile-line archosaur, Prestosuchus chiniquensis at the @amnh.org (with myself for scale) for this #FossilFriday. This large pseudosuchian 🐊 from South America lived during the #Triassic (~242-235 Ma) & was one of the top predators of its age. #Paleontology #Science 🧵 1/

- Endangered Species Day - As I do every year, Ive tried to make a small contribution to this day: My favorite animal in the world, the critically endangered Caimán llanero (C. intermedius), a species to which I am determined to dedicate my life to conserve.

If you ever feel bad about making a typo or spelling mistake, rest assured, my current research has shown me that misspelling "Rhamphosuchus" as "Ramphosuchus" is a surprisingly common mistake even in published literature

Does anyone happen to know if Jason Head's work on Rhamphosuchus was ever published in full or has it been stuck as an abstract since 2001? www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Pretty cool paper. Basically, "Gharialis" curvirostris was named some 150 years ago by Richard Lydekker based on fossil material from the Bugti Hills of Pakistan and has very much been stuck in this state since then.

I finished the digital sculpture of my Barinasuchus skull, 3d printed it at 1/6th scale and started painting.

That's two down. Both "Gharialis" curvirostris and "Gharialis" pachyrhynchus have been given a dedicated taxonomic overhaul. The results? "G." curvirostris is now Pseudogavialis and "G." pachyrhynchus has become a new species of Rhamphosuchus khttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/spp2.70010

Here's an update on my Deinosuchus skeletal. Nearly all the bones are done, just gotta finish the skull detailing and the osteoderms. Also the back leg. But theoretically in the home stretch. #paleontology #Deinosuchus #paleoart

Fascinating new paper on the phylogenetics of what used to be basal alligatoroids. The big change? Diplocynodon, Leidyosuchus and Deinosuchus, all traditionally thought of as stem-gators, are now non-crocodilian Eusuchians www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Currently struggling to reconstruct Eurycephalosuchus, fascinating skull shape but man trying to fix the distortion and overlap is a little tricky on this one

A post over on the other site reminded me of this very interesting photograph by Jon Warburton showing a crocodile carrying around the head of a warthog.

- Tewkensuchus salamanquensis - A fast 3D sketch to represent a very interesting new genre. Apart from the characteristic postcranial crest, it is a Patagonian sebecid that is phylogenetically closer to European forms than to South American ones. How crazy that is.
