Fasolasuchus tenax skull

Description:

Description: English: Reconstruction of the skull of Fasolasuchus tenax, is a composite of the known cranial bones, the premaxilla of the holotype (PVL 3850) and the maxilla and dentary from the referred specimen PVL 3851. Based on photos and drawings in Nesbitt et al. (2013) and Bonaparte (1981), other than the length of the maxilla no other measurement is mentioned so for the dentary I had to go with the scalebar alone. The scale of the premaxilla is based on the proportions of Postosuchus kirkpatricki, the rest of the skull is reconstructed after Batrachotomus kupferzenllensis with a bit of Postosuchus here and there to reflect its phylogenetic position. Total skull length estimated at ~91cm. Date: 26 July 2013. Source: Fasolasuchus tenax skull. Author: bLAZZE92.
