As we near completion of this extensive project that began nearly four years ago, we’re excited to highlight the remarkable features of Borealosuchus wilsoni. This specimen exhibits fascinating evidence of prehistoric conflict, including bite marks indicative of an attack by another crocodilian and even a turtle within the abdominal region. With the discovery phase concluding, we now embark on the second stage — the intricate process of reassembling this extraordinary fossil. #crocodile #paleont

After a long stretch of planning, problem-solving, and a lot of careful thought, we’re finally ready for the next major step with this Eocene crocodylomorph, Borealosuchus wilsoni. 🐊⚒️ This specimen is a true monster from the Green River Formation, and flipping it safely has been one of our biggest logistical challenges. Thanks to innovative rigging, strategic engineering, and a solid game plan, we’re prepared to rotate the first half and begin removing matrix from the dorsal side to lighten th
