This is the small Bernissart crocodile that lived alongside our famous Iguanodons! This 60cm long adult Bernissartia fagesii was CT-scanned, revealing details of the skull and teeth hidden by sediment and glue. The analysis by palaeontologists brings this species close to the root of our modern crocodilians (Eusuchia). 🐊 👉 bit.ly/CrocBernissart New details on the teeth confirm that Bernissartia was not picky when it came to food. With its flattened rear teeth, it could crush shellfish such as freshwater snails and mussels, as well as insects and crayfish. With its sharp front teeth, it probably tore up small vertebrates like frogs and lizards. The diet corresponds to what biologists expect from small crocodiles. So, between 1878-1881 not only Iguanodons were excavated in the Bernissart coal mine, but also other members of the local ecosystem 125 million years ago: ferns, conifers, a cicada, 3000 fish, a salamander, 6 turtles and 4 crocodiles (2 species). Bernissart was swampy back then!

Fish soup for Fossil Friday! Together with the famous Iguanodons more than 3,000 fish fossils were found in Bernissart (Belgium). Beautiful specimens that illustrate freshwater fish diversity 125 million years ago in this region. The fossils are still being studied. One of our colleagues just described a new genus: Barbalepis (first picture). 

The fish species found in Bernissart all lived in a lake or swamp. The last two pictures are Teleostei, the dominant group in Bernissart: in the late Cretaceous they all looked similar but from then onwards this group would become extremely diverse. Today, there are 32,000 species of teleosts, in all sizes and forms. They make up half of all vertebrate species on our planet!

Je reprends mon projet de présenter la plupart de mes 52461 photos (oui, ça a encore augmenté !).

2004 Christine est venue me voir dans le Nord. Une escapade en Wallonie avec un voyage dans le Temps !
