There's a great photo of handsome Paul through the jaws of a SuperCroc!
But could not get it posted here.
Fascinating work in the Sahara and North Africa!
Yahoo news:
"WASHINGTON – A 20-foot-long crocodile with three sets of fangs — like wild boar tusks — roamed parts of northern Africa millions of years ago, researchers reported Thursday. While this fearsome creature hunted meat, not far away another newly found type of croc with a wide, flat snout like a pancake was fishing for food.

And a smaller, 3-foot-long relative with buckteeth was chomping plants and grubs in the same region.

The three new species, along with new examples of two previously known ancient crocodiles, were detailed Thursday by researchers Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago and Hans Larsson of McGill University in Montreal. They spoke at a news conference organized by the National Geographic Society, which sponsored the research.

"These species open a window on a croc world completely foreign to what was living on northern continents," Sereno said of the unusual animals that lived 100 million years ago on the southern continent known as Gondwana."

Perhaps one day you'll come to Greece, too!
Not that there are any dinosaurs here :-) But we are close to
to North Africa, Chad, etc. where you can dig and hit "old bones"!

I am a colleague with Paul Sereno's mother, Rena Sereno, and we
have been on many art study tours of Greece sponsored by Northern
Illinois University and ALPHA. I think Paul is great, and may he be an inspiration for your future studies!
All the best,
see you in the mail soon!
