These are the bones of a Rauisuchid.
Look out Eric!!!
Look out Eric!!!The plaque reads: "Rauisuchids are more closely related to Crocodylomorphs (right-kind of like ancient crocodile) than Phytosaurs are. Together with armored Aetosaurs, Rauisuchids form the Pseudosuchia, identified by the vertebrae that are constricted on the bottom. Along with the crocodylomorphs, these animals make up the Suchia.
Rauisuchids share a movable joint between the maxilla and premaxilla. The rare rauisuchid specimens indicate that these were large terrestrial animals.
