-its holotype and paratype fossils consisted of four teeth (an adult tooth and three juvenile teeth), unlike Troodon with just a single tooth! Plus the most recent studies concluded that Pectinodon is valid, so there may be hope for this genus! (3/3)

Eopneumatosuchus is one of many croc species found in the Early Jurassic Kayenta formation of Diné lands. Paleontologists are working more closely with the Diné leadership to better acknowledge the history of the land these fossils come from and collaborate with the local people.

(These are all pretty jokey)
1: Where are all the flying crabs?
2: What if the originally "misinterpreted" tanystropheus fossils WERE of a flying animal?
3: What if the elephant shrew becomes the platybelodon shrew, or "shroop"?
4: What if pterosaurs undergo carcinization?

are a pretty massive group of arthropods that spanned from the early Cambrian to the Permian.. They're so common that they make excellent index fossils, meaning they can be used to date other fossils within their strata. This one is based on the genus Paradoxides!
