Macrospondylus was an ancient marine crocodylomorph that swam the Jurassic seas of Germany. This particular specimen was found in the Posidonia Shale. On a personal note, I was so struck by this specimen that I made it the logo for Fossil Bonanza. #CrocodileWeek #FossilFriday

The Strawberry Bank Lagerstätte is a Jurassic fossil site in the UK known for its 3D fossils. Juveniles of the marine crocodile Pelagosaurus are found here indicating that this site served as a nursery. #CrocodileWeek #Paleontology https://t.co/qcgfFlYyz2

Crocodile coprolites can sometimes contain fossilized parasite eggs within them. In the Spanish Las Hoyas fossil site, flatworm and roundworm eggs are found in crocodilian feces allowing us to reconstruct their lifecycle. https://t.co/8koYYlkWik #CrocodileWeek #Paleontology

One of the oldest crocodilian relatives comes from the Chinle Fm in SW United States. Hesperosuchus was a small (1.5 meters long), terrestrial reptile that was fast and agile and lived alongside early dinosaurs. CM 29894 #CrocodileWeek #Paleontology https://t.co/921BvsOuK6

This week we'll rip and roll our way into crocodile fossils! Their survival throughout millions of years of evolution means they pop up in all sorts of habitats-from aquatic to terrestrial. #CrocodileWeek #Paleontology
