Confractosuchus is a rare example of a fossil crocodyliform with preserved stomach content, and is the first evidence of a crocodyliform eating a dinosaur. [11] Its prey, a juvenile ornithopod, is represented by multiple vertebrae and limb bones most likely belonging to a single individual. [ 1 ]
The bigger, but less common, Deinosuchus that lived in Texas and Montana might have been more specialized hunters, capturing and eating large dinosaurs. [17] Schwimmer noted no theropod dinosaurs in Deinosuchus 's eastern range approached its size, indicating the massive crocodilian could have been the region's apex predator .
Suchomimus (meaning "crocodile mimic") is a genus of spinosaurid dinosaur that lived between 125 and 112 million years ago in what is now Niger, North Africa, during the Aptian to early Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous Period.
A large carnivorous dinosaur from the Cretaceous period of Northern Africa, with a head resembling one of a crocodilian, is found which could grow up to 50 feet long. Dr. Campbell (Bruce Weitz) uses its DNA with a modern-day crocodile to create two hybrids of it at Paula Kennedy's Genetic Research Co. (Gereco) lab.
