This is so awesome. There was also this yesterday, about fossil remains of a 50 or 60 foot "shield croc" skull found in Madagascar. A really annoying and incomplete link is here
And, oh my gosh, the article states: Other specimens of species closely related to shieldcroc have been described, but not since the 1920s, Holliday said. And because those specimens were found by German archaeologists, they ended up getting blown up in the bombings of World War II.
I had completely forgotten about this. It was something I was going to include in AW!
