Kostensuchus atrox: Patagonia's Broad-Snout Apex Predator

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

We reveal a near-complete 70-million-year-old crocodile relative from Argentina—Kostensuchus atrox —and what its broad snout, giant jaw muscles, and serrated teeth tell us about Cretaceous land predation. The episode compares its ecology with coeval predators like Chaetotrox and Baryosuchids, explores locomotor clues from its limbs, and explains why this extraordinary fossil reshapes our view of top predators on the eve of the dinosaur extinction.Note:  This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.  Please double-check any critical information.Sponsored by Embersilk LLC
