Examples

“We describe two new osteolaemine crocodylids from the Early and early Middle Miocene of Kenya: Kinyang mabokoensis tax. nov. (Maboko, 15 Ma) and Kinyang tchernovi tax. nov. (Karungu and Loperot, 18 Ma). […] Tubulirostrine Euthecodon and gharials persist, but small flat‐snouted osteolaemines are replaced by Crocodylus (Figure 1f), some of which were gigantic, with exceptional individuals possibly exceeding 7 m in total length (Brochu & Storrs, 2012).”
