Dakosaurus sliced other sea reptiles into small chunks

Adam Khor

Not a new creature, but a study confirming that the awesome Dakosaurus, a marine "crocodile" that looked rather like a cross between a theropod and a shark, was perfectly adapted to hunt and eat large sea reptiles- perhaps larger than itself.
The study shows that the teeth of Dakosaurus would interlock when it closed its jaws, and this would cause a shearing effect, allowing the "croc" to slice large chunks of flesh from a carcass (or live prey?) more like a great white shark than a crocodile.
