crocodylian skulls

the gharial-like one on the left is the early Jurassic [i]Peipehsuchus teleorhinus[/i] and the two on the right are both the late Jurassic [i]Hsisosuchus chungkingensis[/i]. For those interested in palaeontology, the Palaeozoological Museum Of China is absolutely outstanding. The museum is on three floors, the lower one for dinosaurs including several fully-mounted skeletons (the displays are a mix of real fossils and casts) and fossil fish, the next floor for more dinosaurs and birds, and the third for mammals. Really fascinating fossils here, although unfortunately all the signage is in Chinese apart for the scientific names. Visited September 2013.
