Dentaneosuchus, the new, roughly Barinasuchus-sized sebecid from Eocene France. Now I wanna prefice this by saying that this is reconstruction is not gospel. Sebecids are a rather poorly known group and there is a lot of guesswork, a lot of unknowns and a lot of things that are subject to change For instance, I based the outline on Sebecus, but if you used proportions more similar to baurusuchids, you'd get a larger animal (as is often the case with Barinasuchus), so really, while this is meant to give a general idea of the animal, its not infallible and doesn't need to be followed to a T

Dentaneosuchus crassiproratus remake.

This time I made it less crocodile-like, with lighter less greenish colors and a more lively pose.

With Hatsune Miku for scale:

A Prehistoric Writing Project

So, I’m working on a novella/story project which in essence is a sequel to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World viewed as both an updating of the paleontology of the plateau, and a full alternate history project where a landmass as large as New Guinea is cut off from the rest of the world and maintains megafauna from various ancient eras (Cretaceous and Neogene, primarily). 

Now, paleofauna in South America is...weird. Far weirder than has been portrayed in any adaptation of followup to this story yet done.  While I do plan on some more familiar faces (albeit, done in ways that make them more accurate and thus new and exciting), I’d rather have fun with the weirdness.

But even with how fragmentary the fossil record is in South America, there’s a lot to choose from. 

So, I’m asking, what would you like to “See” in a “Realistic” version of such a Lost World?

I just had to post this because of how beautiful these teeth are.

Sebecosuchia: a group of animals that are so crocodylian, we had to name them after Sobek twice.
