Fullux Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Howdy all, I read somewhere that Thecachampsa americana is a synonym for Crocodylus americanus, at least in reguard to thecachampsa fossils found in pleistocene deposits in Florida. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I believe it is synonymous with Gavialosuchus. 2 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 And . . . Gavialosuchus (Thecachampsa) is a Miocene croc not found in Pleistocene deposits in Florida unless it is re-worked. 1 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 These are extremely rare at least in my part of Florida, Harry has left open a couple a possibilities.. Florida Miocene locations, and "reworked" fossil mixture locations. In 15 years, I have only found a very few possibilities. This one at 38 mm was found 8 years ago 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
