African Fossil Find: 40-Foot Crocodile. Sarcosuchus imperator had been known since the first discovery of its fossilized bones in 1964, but its size could not be estimated for want of a skull. Now one has been found by a team led by a University of Chicago paleontologist, and it reveals the gargantuan size of this monster. It weighed nine tons, was as long as a schoolbus, had four-foot jaws — “an amazingly nasty animal” able to bring down dinosaurs weighing tons “for lunch”.Washington Post Here‘s a Google search to further information on this behemoth. I heard the scientist who put this all together interviewed on NPR, and it appears he’s promoting the hell out of his find, dreaming of presiding over an empire of licensed Sarcosuchus movies and franchised goods.
