Prehistoric Crocodile Found in Brazil
A fossil of a new marine crocodile species found in Brazil shows the reptiles survived the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago, researchers said on Wednesday, March 26, 2008. With the skull, jaw, and vertebrae, the fossil is the most complete of its group found in South America. Brazilian paleontologists said the discovery of the fossil of Guarinisuchus munizi, dubbed "sea warrior," also engendered a new theory on the migration of prehistoric crocodiles from Africa to South and then North America.
