Four, 20-minute paleostream sketches

Brachychampsa was a shell-busting croc. While the teeth at the front of this 75-66 million-year-old croc’s jaw are pointed, those towards the back are bulbous and suited to cracking shelled prey like freshwater clams and small turtles. This skeleton’s based on Brachychampsa from southern Utah. 🧪

A fossilized crocodilian tooth of a Brachychampsa montana from the Hell Creek Formation in Baker, Fallon County, Montana, USA. These extinct alligatorids are know for their bulbous or button-like teeth. #FossilFriday

Meet Brachychampsa, the replacement for Thoracosaurus in 2.3.0!These ancient alligatorids will be commonly found in the Hell Creek Swamp, where they will prey on turtles and other unlucky animals to encounter it!

My first #paleostream flocking.

Missed the first critter but today we sketched Zhejiangopterus (missed), Bolg, Diplobune and Iberomesornis

Because sometimes you have to escape collections and stretch your legs mid-research:

Happy #ToothyTuesday from this Brachychampsa shed tooth I just found! These Hell Creek gators had blunt crushing teeth compared to other late Cretaceous crocs.

Upper Hell Creek, South Dakota, 66 million years old.

Here’s 2 more crocodilian relatives of hells creek:
Borealosuchus sternbergi
Brachychampsa Montana

As well as a crocodile-like campsosaur (not related to crocodiles in the slightest)

Day 23: KPG Extinction

During the darkness of cloudy weather, an alligatorid Brachychampsa is struggled to tearing a huge flesh dead alamosaurus after a collapsed itself due high starvation.

Love them all, but the Denversaurus/Brachychampsa is wonderful! And I want to rescue Chasmataspis.

Brachiosuchus is an extinct crocodilian that I absolutely adore, but it also drives my dyslexic ass insane because there's also Brachysuchus and Brachychampsa, which I keep mixing it up with.

Here are some of the fossil finds from this year’s dig season: the crown jewel being a Tyrannosaurid tooth. Also shown are a Metasequoia cone, a fossil tendon, a crocodilian tooth, and some freshwater ray crushing teeth, plus some amber!

The first time I rode it and *everything* was working is still one of my favorite memories of the parks early days. The scene when you come around the corner and an Alioramus was *eating* a Brachychampsa was amazing. I was all like Disney made that? Wow!

That being said, I'm not sad to see it go.

Brachychampsa. Like a Cretaceous Grandpa’s Goody Getter, but more dangerous for your fingers.
