Today is National Fossil Day! 🐊⛏️🐚🦕

Alabama has an interesting fossil record. Between 83 and 77 million years ago, our state’s largest and most common predator was not a dinosaur, but a crocodilian!

Deinosuchus schwimmeri (“terrible crocodile”) was a large crocodilian that inhabited coastal and wetland habitats across North America. Fossils of this beast’s upper jaw and mandible were found in Lowndes County, Alabama. D. schwimmeri looked like a modern alligator, albeit much larger. It reached up to 30 feet long and weighed over 5,000 lbs. On land, this monster was so big it could only move while sliding on its belly. But at the water’s edge, it was an apex predator! With an estimated bite force of 4,000-23,000 pounds force per square inch D. schwimmeri was a feared hunter, as it would sn**ch unsuspecting dinosaurs when they stopped for a drink.
