Figure 1 in A reassessment of the morphology and taxonomic status of 'Crocodylus' depressifrons Blainville, 1855 (Crocodylia, Crocodyloidea) based on the Early Eocene remains from Belgium

Description

Figure 1. 'Crocodylus' depressifrons Blainville, 1855, type specimens from 'Soissonnais', original drawings by Blainville (1855: plate 6), A, B, skull in dorsal and ventral view; C, D, right lower jaw in lateral view and enlarged detail of the symphysis in dorsal view, the arrows in (D) indicate the small and nearly confluent eight and ninth alveoli; E, F, skull in occipital and right lateral view; note that the reconstructed squamosal 'horns' are moderately developed in (E) but nearly flat in (F). The scale was not reported in the original drawing by Blainville but, on the basis of the remains still preserved in Paris (MNHN G 156, MNHN G 160), the total skull length can be estimated to be about 500 mm.
