Fasolasuchus

The Queue: Fasolasuchus tenax

I briefly talked about Fasolasuchus in a Queue before. But I didn’t really go into much detail about the animal, a massive prehistoric pseudosuchian in the Loricata, an Archosaur clade that included all living members of the Crocodylomorpha and the various large terrestrial animals once called Rauisuchians.

This was a big boy. It hunted early members of the Sauropodomorpha like Lessemsaurus, which while not nearly as big as later Sauropods was still over 10 meters long and weighed upwards of four metric tons. (I accidentally wrote kiloton here instead of metric ton and had to come back in to correct it.)
