Suchomimus, meaning "crocodile mimic," was a spinosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 125 to 112 million years ago. Its name reflects its crocodile-like skull, which was long and shallow, ideal for catching fish. Discovered in Niger, Africa, by paleontologist Paul Sereno and his team in 1997, the dinosaur's remains were found in the Elrhaz Formation, a region known for its rich fossil deposits. Suchomimus was a large theropod, measuring between 9.5 and 11 meters (31–36 feet) in length and weighing up to 3.8 metric tons. Its forelimbs were robust, equipped with giant claws, and it had a low dorsal sail along its back formed by elongated neural spines.

This dinosaur's diet primarily consisted of fish, supported by its specialized teeth and jaw structure. It likely inhabited fluvial environments, such as floodplains, alongside other dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and aquatic creatures like bony fishes and turtles. Some paleontologists suggest that Suchomimus might be an African species of the European spinosaurid Baryonyx, or even a junior synonym of Cristatusaurus lapparenti, though these classifications remain debated. Its discovery has provided valuable insights into the diversity and adaptations of spinosaurid dinosaurs.

Suchomimus' anatomy suggests it was well-suited for a semi-aquatic lifestyle, wading in shallow waters to hunt prey. Its powerful arms and claws may have been used to catch fish or other small animals. The discovery of Suchomimus has highlighted the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and modern reptiles, showcasing how certain species adapted to specific ecological niches. This fascinating creature continues to be a subject of study, shedding light on the complex ecosystems of the Early Cretaceous.

#Archovember Day 24 - Araripesuchus wegeneri

The notosuchians were were such a diverse group of pseudosuchians you’d think they came from the Triassic. But no, this group of “mammal-mimicking” crocodylomorphs lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous. One such Cretaceous notosuchian was Araripesuchus. This genus was widespread across the Southern Hemisphere, represented by at least 6 different species, mostly identified by their unique teeth. Today’s species is Araripesuchus wegeneri, the “Dog Croc.”

Living in Early Cretaceous Niger, Araripesuchus wegeneri appeared to be an omnivore, eating both plants and insects like grubs. Its common name “Dog Croc” is a reference to not only the dog-like shape of its skull, but also its unique caniniform teeth. Araripesuchus wegeneri fossils were found in a block with five skeletons packed together, so they may have even been social. All species of Araripesuchus had large eyes and thin osteoderms covering their body. They were likely more agile on land than in water, due to their long limbs. It could have possibly used its long legs to sprint to the water in order to flee predators, then used its muscular tail to swim.

There was a significant amount of pseudosuchian diversity in the Elrhaz Formation. Araripesuchus wegeneri would have lived alongside the similarly sized, duck-billed notosuchian Anatosuchus. It would have had to look out for the giant “Super Croc”, Sarcosuchus (perhaps the reason it had adapted for leaving the water so easily!) It would have also lived alongside the long-snouted fish-eater Stolokrosuchus. There were dinosaurs here as well, such as the iguanodont Lurdusaurus, the hadrosaur Ouranosaurus, the carcharodontosaurid Eocarcharia, the abelisaurid Kryptops, the spinosaurid Suchomimus, and the duck-billed sauropod Nigersaurus.

[reneg661]

Is a genus of herbivorous basal hadrosauriform dinosaur that lived during the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous of modern-day Niger and Cameroon. Ouranosaurus measured about 7 to 8.3 metres (23 to 27 ft) long. Two rather complete fossils were found in the Elrhaz Formation, Gadoufaoua deposits, Agadez, Niger, in 1965 and 1970, with a third indeterminate specimen known from the Koum Formation of Cameroon. The animal was named in 1976 by French paleontologist Philippe Taquet; the type species being Ouranosaurus nigeriensis. The name is a combination of the Arabic word for "courage" and the country of discovery, although ourane is also the Tuareg name for the desert monitor.

Nigersaurus: It has a wide mouth lined with 500 slender teeth

Nigersaurus may be a genus of rebbachisaurid sauropod that lived during in the middle of Cretaceous era, about 115 to 105 million years ago. It was discovered within the Elrhaz Formation in a region called Gadoufaoua, within the Republic of Niger. Fossils of this dinosaur were first described in 1976, but it had been only named Nigersaurus taqueti in 1999, after further and more complete remains…

Spinosaurus Dinosaur Tooth Fossil – Genuine Specimen – Suchomimus Cretaceous CERTIFICATED

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity

**Please note: Some fossils maybe propped up for photo purposes**

Dinosaur: Spinosaurus (Suchomimus )

Specimen: Tooth

Age: Elrhaz Formation, Cretaceous

Location: Gadaoufa region of the Tenere Desert, Niger

Scale cube=1cm:Full sizing please see photo.

Spinosaurus, genus of theropod dinosaurs belonging to the family Spinosauridae, known from incomplete North African fossils that date to Cenomanian times (roughly 100 to 94 million years ago). Spinosaurus, or “spined reptile,” was named for its “sail back” feature, created by tall vertebral spines. It was named by German paleontologist Ernst Stromer in 1915 on the basis of the discovery of a partial skeleton from Bahariya Oasis in western Egypt by his assistant Richard Markgraf. These fossils were destroyed in April 1944 when British aircraft inadvertently bombed the museum in Munich in which they were housed. For several decades Spinosaurus was known only from Stromer’s monographic descriptions; however, additional fragmentary remains were discovered during the 1990s and 2000s in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. Related taxa in the family Spinosauridae include Baryonyx from England, Irritator from Brazil, and Suchomimus from Niger.

Spinosaurus, which was longer and heavier than Tyrannosaurus, is the largest known carnivorous dinosaur. It possessed a skull 1.75 metres (roughly 6 feet) long, a body length of 14–18 metres (46–59 feet), and an estimated mass of 12,000–20,000 kg (13–22 tons).

ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. The specimen has been carefully hand selected and photographed. Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device.
