Skull Of Crocodile 100 Million Years Old Unearthed

The disassembled skull of a crocodile with two and a half inch long teeth that lived nearly 100 million years ago has been unearthed found in a prolific fossil site in North Arlington, Texas. Derek Main announces that they had over 50 bones exposed and that they are truly impressive, the teeth measuring 6.5 centimeters, larger than a human thumb. The site lies within Cretaceous rocks, formed 95 million years ago when Arlington was the beachhead for a giant sea that divided the continent.
