Summary

Description
English: Skull of holotype of the extinct crocodile “Weigeltisuchus geiseltalensis” KUHN, 1938 (specimen no. GMH Leo X 8001; subsequently “Pristichampsus geiseltalensis”, now referred to Boverisuchus magnifrons KUHN, 1938)[1] from the Eocene deposits of the Geiseltal fossil site, Saxony Anhalt, Central Germany. These crocodiles have laterally compessed and serrated teeth reminiscent of the teeth of large carnivorous dinosaurs.
