Sarcosuchus is among the largest crocodilian reptiles that we know. The length exceeds 12‒13 meters and weighs about eight tons. Sarcosuchus is characterized by a very large skull (1,6 meters in length) and by conical, slightly curved teeth. The tail is relatively long and massive. The body is covered (both dorsal and ventral parts) with bony plates (scutes). Sarcosuchus lived in the Lower Cretaceous (112‒110 Ma) in the northern African territory and probably also in South America. It preyed on large fish and probably also on dinosaurs. ## Keywords Mesozoic, Lower Cretaceous, Crocodylomorpha, Pholidosauridae
