WASHINGTON — In the era when dinosaurs ruled the Jurassic earth, a 13-foot oceanic crocodile with a short snout and a mouthful of deadly teeth hunted large creatures in the sea, scientists reported Thursday.
Nicknamed "Godzilla'' by its discoverers, the new find was much different from other marine crocodiles, which had long snouts with many small teeth.
The discovery of the creature, given the scientific name Dakosaurus andiniensis, was reported Thursday in ScienceExpress, the online edition of the journal Science.
"This animal was one of the latest members of its family and certainly the most bizarre of all marine crocs,'' said Diego Pol of Ohio State University, one of the authors of the report.

Clearly a vegitarian that existed 4,500 years ago.

I'll bet that one traveled in packs, like the evos here.
He was convinced he came from a salamander that was dumped out of an alien garbage scow, and thats why he was so pissed off all the time.
Unfortunately he could not be convinced otrherwise.., and so there he is in the fossils of our time, on a dusty shelf as it were. evo itself is going there now.

For the record, the article did not say the animal in question was a dinosaur. The article said the fossil was a marine crocodile that lived during the "age of dinosaurs".

Interesting, but it's "just another fossil," so no ping to the list.

You're right that the article itself is careful not to call the fossil a dinosaur...but the headline does. Probably the person who wrote the article is now ticked off at the editor to made him look like an ignoramus.
