"The discovery is a striking example of how different animals can evolve the same kind of body over and over again."

I think it's got a way cooler body-style than a crocodile. It should have stuck around.

The age of the creature, all the fleshy parts that long ago dissolved, where it came from, what it became, all of that conjecture being passed off as facts, as if these people were there to photograph the creature.

Amazing.

It must take a great imagination to be a "paleontologist".

This is interesting because the CW was that true reptilian exothermic physiology would not support a fleet footed, large dinosaur.

Imagine one of these things sunning itself on your driveway.

It's not the first one. The South American Gracilisuchus, from around the same time, was also bipedal:

During the Triassic, the niche filled by crocodiles today was filled by thecodonts called phytosaurs. Although they closely resembled crocodillians, and belonged to the same Archosaur subclass, they weren't really that closely related. The most telling difference: in phytosaurs, the nostrils were located all the way up, right in front of the eyes:

I really hate when they evolve into an annoying kids show.
