On this Croctober 17th morning, I urge you to cast aside the trappings of the New Thought. Remember who you are, what you stand for, and why. Reject that which would try to dilute and divert you.
In short:

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. #FossilFriday #Croctober #AtoZcrocs #fossils

Today’s #Stemcroctober 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 #Croctober #AtoZCrocs
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. #fossils #AtoZcrocs #Croctober

Hey people it's #croctober and I recommend celebrating by heading over to @gulosuchus 's #SVP2020 talk about crocodylomorph ecologies. If you need further convincing, I offer the following:
Ladies and frentlemen, today is Croctober 14th! Here to help us welcome this glorious day of spookenings is @whois_John_Galt! But wait, what's this? THE MOONLIGHT! IT REVEALS...
Today on this majestic and fine Croctober 13th, let us remember a certain fren. I knew them only a little before Jack's Bluebird Death Squads found them, but rumor is their spirit lives on.
For more information, please see @RealBasedFrid, who is definitely not Frakes.

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. :)
Ok ok little a self-indulgent fat tail Friday post, as a treat
It’s those swamp ass booty shorts that gator daily was sellin a while ago, but actually trying to fit them around tohnii’s tail is... a challenge!
A bonus for missing Croctober day yesterday 🙈

Lughadul is based off of the Gharial!
Good morning and welcome to Croctober 7th! Today's art says it all.
Today’s #Stemcroctober 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 #Croctober #AtoZCrocs
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. #Croctober #AtoZcrocs #fossils

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 #stemcroctober tree we sometimes lump together and call “Rauisuchians.” #Croctober #AtoZcrocs #fossils

Good morning, frens. It is Croctober 6th. Do you know who works tirelessly to bring us happiness, comfort, and good words? @onewalleee. That android frog does more to help this community than most of you understand. Today, we celebrate frens like him.

Have you celebrated the existence of crocs today? (it should be a daily activity!)
Here are four crocs (or kinda-crocs) I did for Christian Flores, who's doing exactly that with Croctober, on his instagram @crikeyitschristian! Can you guess who these are?
