It's name in English is crocodile warrior of fluminense or fluminense crocodile warrior

It is, according to the article, the oldest reptile fossil found to date in Rio de janeiro, and the skull they found is in very good condition.

Mad that it was found sometime between 29 and 79 years ago, and is only coming to light now.
