Computer animation of a marine crocodile, a 'sea monster' nicknamed Godzilla, which will appear in the December 2005 issue of National Geographic magazine. The bizarre marine crocodile that lived 135 million years ago in what is now Argentina had the head of a dinosaur and the tail of a fish, paleontologists said November 10, 2005. The finding, published in Thursday's issue of the journal Science, sheds new light on an animal that millions of years ago dominated Earth's seas. Scientists are calling the beast 'Godzilla'.

SCHWING. I don't want to go swimming in Argentina. That thing may still be around.

WTF? Godzilla is Argentinian?

ahem...


He said it was probably about 12 feet long and had four paddle-like limbs instead of the legs of today's crocodiles.
that is one small ass "godzilla" I think Nile crocodiles are bigger aren't they?

Cool.

So do many of you live in the Patagonia region? Do you guys find fossils?

My grandmother lives in Plaza Huincul, where the "Huinculense" was found, the largest dinosaur to ever walk the earth. Ironically, I've only found fossil crustaceans http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smidepressed.gif
