Photo in the News: Jurassic "Crocodile" Found in Oregon: "March 22, 2007—It endured a rocky ride—literally—but this ancient 'sea monster' from Asia has found a place in the United States to call home.
The fossil remains of a crocodile-like reptile called Thalattosuchia have been discovered in rocks in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon—about 5,000 miles (8,050 kilometers) from where it most likely died, researchers announced on Monday. So far about 50 percent of the animal, including the upper leg bone and rib fragments seen here (bottom), have been unearthed."
