OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Crocodylus megarhinus is an extinct species of crocodile from the Eocene of Egypt. A partial skull was found by British paleontologist Charles William Andrews in the Fayum Depression. Andrews named Crocodylus megarhinus in 1905 on the basis of the holotype skull. A complete skull was also uncovered from Egypt in 1907 but was not recognized as C. megarhinus until 1927. C. megarhinus shares many features with living crocodiles like the Nile crocodile (C. niloticus), including a robust triangular skull that is shorter than most other crocodiles. Similarities are also seen in the teeth of the two species. Like living crocodiles, C. megarhinus has several constricted areas along the upper jaw that provide spaces for the teeth of the lower jaw when the mouth is closed. The proportions of C. megarhinus and C. niloticus are so similar that American paleontologist Charles C. Mook considered it very probable that C. megarhinus is a direct ancestor of C. niloticus.
