Skull fragments
reveal new ancient crocodile species
Two fossilised skull fragments from a 2ft (60cm)
crocodile found on the Isle of Wight point to the discovery of a new ancient
species, a study has found.The pieces - a snout and back part of the skull -
were found by different private collectors three months apart.Experts at the
Dinosaur Isle museum near Sandown found the 126 million-year-old fragments
"fitted together perfectly to make a complete skull".The species has
been named Koumpiodontosuchus aprosdokiti.
