Materiaux pour la paleontologie suisse, ou, Recueil de monographies sur les fossiles du Jura et des Alpes, Geneve, H. Georg, 1854-1873, Cretaceous, Echinodermata, Eocene, Fossils, Paleontology, Switzerland, Museum of Comparative Zoology, The illustration displays a series of detailed anatomical sketches of various fossilized crocodile skull fragments and teeth, specifically from the species Crocodylus hastingeri, as described by Owen. Each specimen is labeled with a number for identification, showcasing the intricate textures and structures characteristic of the dinosaur's cranial features. The arrangement highlights important morphological details, such as the distinct shapes of the snouts, teeth, and other cranial elements, providing valuable insight into the paleontological study of this prehistoric reptile.
