 Description:
This is a fine example of a jaw section from a crocodyliform of the
Trematochampsidae. Two teeth are present, while several alveoli (sockets)
are to be seen as well. The wider section when viewed from above shos
this is from the anteriormost portion of the jaw. Notice the diagnostic
texture of the bone evident in this fine specimen, as well as the
good preservation of the enamel, making for a wonderful example of
this rarely-seen Archosaur. |
