Beschreibung:

Dyrosaurus phosphaticus Thanetian Stage, Eocene North Africa Dyrosaurus phosphaticus is an extinct marine reptile and an ancestor of the modern crocodile. The crocodilian probably walked as efficiently as it swam, as evidenced by fossil discoveries of massive leg bones relative to its overall size and lightly built skull. The present rare skull specimen exhibits numerous awe-inspiring teeth which leave no doubt that Dyrosaurus was a formidable predator and carnivore. This excellent example displays completely original bone without restoration. Offered in a wood frame. Measures 40 x 13in
