This 31-foot β€œterror croc” ate dinosaurs. Now it’s back

A massive, bus-sized β€œterror croc” that once preyed on dinosaurs has been brought back to life in stunning detail with the first scientifically accurate full skeleton of Deinosuchus schwimmeri. Stretching over 30 feet long, this ancient apex predator ruled the southeastern U.S. more than 75 million years agoβ€”and now visitors can see it up close at the Tellus Science Museum, the only place in the world with this replica.

'Face lift' for Queensland dinosaur after discovery of 1,300 more bones

The dinosaur's face lift has become the butt of online jokes among palaeontology fans, but researchers say it is the most accurate depiction of the creature yet.

Paleontologists unearthed a new species of long-necked dinosaur, Bicharracosaurus dionidei, in the Patagonian province of Chubut, Argentina, dating back to the Late Jurassic period approximately 155 million years ago.

Palaeontologists Discover New Long-Necked Dinosaur in Patagonia

Long-necked dinosaur fossils from the Jurassic period in the Southern Hemisphere are rare

Palaeontologists discover new long-necked dinosaur in Patagonia

A German-Argentine team of paleontologists led by SNSB dinosaur expert Oliver Rauhut has discovered a new long-necked dinosaur, Bicharracosaurus dionidei, from the Upper Jurassic period in Argentina, dating back approximately 155 million years. Long-necked dinosaur fossils from the Jurassic period in the Southern Hemisphere are rare, so the new fossil contributes to a better understanding of the evolution of these giant herbivores on the southern continents. The researchers have now published their findings in the journal PeerJ.
