The upper part of a fossil Argochampsa krebsi crocodile skull on a sandy matrix wrapped in a plaster field jacket. 4.9 kg, 45 cm (17 3/4 in.) From Morocco. From an East Anglian, UK, collection. Argochampsa or 'Argo crocodile' is an extinct genus of eusuchian crocodylomorph, usually regarded as a gavialoid crocodilian, related to modern gharials. It lived in the Paleocene of Morocco. Described by Hua and Jouve in 2004, the type species is A. krebsi. Argochampsa had a long narrow snout, and apparently marine in its behaviour.
