    DD16: Dinosaur Diets

    Updates on the diets of baby Psittacosaurus, Troodon, and Pachycephalosaurs. News from this episode: Hatchling Psittacosaurus swallowed gastroliths to help digest their food—meaning that like the adults they also ate tough plants Source Troodon may have been an omnivore that ate more plants than animals, but that’s not the case for all troodontids Source The dome-shaped skulls of pachycephalosaurs may have affected how well they could eat Source If you want to get the best dinosaurs from the last year in card/magnet/keychain/sticker form (and/or a large Styracosaurus pin) check out our crowdfunding campaign before the end of July at www.iknowdino.com/cards

    I Know Paleo Episode 40: Crocodylomorphs part 2

    Thalattosuchians (AKA marine crocodiles or sea crocodiles) plus some of the more recent Neosuchians (the aptly named "new crocodiles") Featured Creatures include (from oldest to most recent): Metriorhynchus (Late Jurassic): A fully aquatic, marine crocodyliform with a shark-like tail and a dolphin-like snout that hunted large fish off the coasts of what is now Europe. Dakosaurus (Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous): A large, sea-dwelling apex predator with a triangular skull and powerful, serrated teeth capable of tearing chunks of flesh from big prey. Baurusuchus (Late Cretaceous): A vaguely dog-like terrestrial predator from Brazil with a robust skull and alligator-strength bite that hunted in a hot, dry climate. Borealosuchus (Late Cretaceous–Eocene): A mid-sized to large North American crocodyliform whose six species ranged across the U.S. and Canada for over 20 million years. They survived the end-Cretaceous mass extinction. The funniest species is threenensis after its proximity to exit 3 on the New Jersey Turnpike. Navajosuchus (Paleocene): A common, alligator-like generalist predator with a short snout (for a crocodilian) from what is now New Mexico. Wannaganosuchus (Late Paleocene): A small, short-snouted alligatorid from North Dakota that spent more time in water than on land and ate a varied diet. Allognathosuchus (Eocene): A small alligator-like crocodilian with stout jaws and bulbous teeth possibly used for crushing mollusks. Boverisuchus (Early–Middle Eocene): A fast-running, land-adapted "hoofed crocodile" from Germany and western North America with sharp, serrated teeth that it used to hunt mammals. Fun Fact: All crocodylomorphs today are semi-aquatic (and almost all are freshwater). In the graphic linked below blue=marine; green=terrestrial; orange=freshwater.
