A Glimpse into the Dawn of Predator Dominance The discovery of Eosphorosuchus lacrimosa, a previously unknown crocodile relative from 210 million years ago, has shed new light on the diversification of early predators in the Triassic period.
This find is significant not only because it adds to our understanding of ancient ecosystems but also because it highlights the importance of revisiting and reexamining existing fossil collections.
The Ghost Ranch Bone Bed in New Mexico, where Eosphorosuchus was found, has been a treasure trove for paleontologists for over a century.
