A team of researchers has been lucky enough to identify the fossil of a new endangered species of crocodile called Confractosuchus sauroktonos in Queensland, Australia, according to a study published in the February 10 issue of Gondwana Research magazine. Cretaceous about 95 million years ago and about 2.5 meters long, these fossil remains, almost complete skull with its teeth and a posterior skeleton missing, tail and hip, appeared in the grounds of a sheep farm near the formation of the Winton. In 2010. An extraordinary discovery turned out to be more interesting, that the model, which apparently had a good appetite, was not alone in its concretion. Such a decision was made after ancient researchers discovered its last food. Joseph Bevitt of the Australian Institute of Atomic Science and Technology (ANSTO), one of the authors of the research, noted on February 15 that scientists had discovered the remains of a small dinosaur in the bones of a crocodile. Remains of a prey weighing about 1.7 kilograms showed up in a bundle. Both are “instigators, predators and prey”.

An exceptional discovery has been made by Australian archaeologists who have discovered the bones of a new type of crocodile that is 95 million years old. But they have identified more than that: the remains of a dinosaur were found in its stomach.
The reptile is said to have lived in the Cretaceous about 95 million years ago and is about 2.5 meters long.
These fossil remains, an almost complete skull and a posterior skull skeleton invisible to its tail and pelvis, were found in 2010 on the grounds of a sheep farm near Vinton Creation.
An extraordinary invention
More interestingly, the model, which apparently had a good appetite, was not alone in its concretion.
Such a decision was made after ancient researchers discovered its last food.
“When I first scanned it in 2015, I found a bone buried there that looked like chicken bone with a hook and immediately thought it was a dinosaur.”
Scientists later found small dinosaur remains between the crocodile bones.
“The human eye has never known it before because it is completely buried in the rock,” he added.
The partially digested remains of this prey, which weighed approximately 1.7 kg, showed a aggregate.
According to researchers, the hunter killed it or fed it shortly after it died.
According to him, the discovery suggests that dinosaurs were an “inherent part” of Cretaceous ecology.
“Dinosaurs may have been an important source in the Cretaceous ecological food web,” he concluded.
