New Species of Terrestrial Crocodile Discovered in Argentine Patagonia
Argentine researchers have identified Antusuchus rionegrinus, a terrestrial predatory crocodile the size of a medium dog that inhabited the Patagonian deserts over 100 million years ago. The discovery at La Buitrera, one of Argentina's most important paleontological sites, provides crucial insights into the evolution of South American ecosystems during the Cretaceous period.
