Paleontologists have made the most important discovery to
date at the Arlington Archosaur Site, a prolific fossil site in North
Arlington, Texas. The disassembled skull of a crocodile with two and a half
inch long teeth that lived nearly 100 million years ago has been unearthed.
"We
have over 50 bones exposed," said The University of Texas at Arlington
dinosaurs lecturer Derek Main, who heads the project. "They are truly
impressive. The teeth measure 6.5 centimeters, larger than my thumb."
To date,
more dinosaur fossils have been recovered from the Arlington Archosaur Site,
where excavation began little more than a year ago, than from any other site in
the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The site lies within Cretaceous rocks, formed 95
million years ago when Arlington was the beachhead for a giant sea that divided
the continent.
The site has
yielded fossils from various species of animals, including dinosaurs. A
skeleton of a large herbivorous "duck billed" dinosaur was excavated
from the northern hillside at the site. Crocodile fossils are among the most
commonly found.
Main said
the site is unique because it is a major dinosaur excavation in the middle of a
large metropolitan setting and it preserves many fossils from different
animals. he site also has fossils from turtles, lungfish, fish and sharks. The
excavation of the Arlington Archosaur Site began in the spring of 2008 when the
Huffines Group obtained the property and granted land access to UT Arlington.
