Pakasuchus had molar-like teeth that fit together to allow real chewing. It’s one of the most heterodont of the weird-toothed notosuchians, suggesting it might have been herbivorous.

Today’s is Nundasuchus songeaensis Nesbitt et al. 2014 a pseudosuchian from the Manda Beds of Tanzania. The phylogenetic position is poorly constrained, but largely because it lacks characters of the ‘classic’ pseudosuchian clades

Ogresuchus’ name comes from the speculation that it might have been eating young titanosaurs in the nesting ground where it was discovered, like the baby-eating ogres of legend.

CROCTOBER DAY 10 - Like Father, Like Son

More tasty feral croc AU fun. If Tohnii Croc stayed with his tribe, stayed Toghundi Ejinn, he would have turned out... a lot different!

You could say that the feasts are very much like being tempered. :)

Today’s is Desmatosuchus spurensis Case 1921, an aetosaur from the southwest. It was a one of the largest with shoulders spikes measuring ~50 cm. The diet is his unknown, but it could have been the largest herbivore of NA in the L Triassic

Fasalosuchus was one of the biggest rauisuchians (maybe the biggest), at 8-10 meters long. It’s H in this figure, check out the scale bars to get an idea of the size difference.

F is for Fasolasuchus (B in this pic), a very distant croc-relative from the Triassic of Argentina. It’s in a messy part of the tree we sometimes lump together and call “Rauisuchians.”

C is for Caipirasuchus, a crocodyliform from the Cretaceous of Brazil with particularly weird teeth. Most crocs are homodont (all their teeth look kind of the same), but Caipirasuchus is heterodont.
