This creature lived during the Kimmeridge stage, which is named after a village located on England's Dorset coast. Dorset is where Plesiosuchus fossils were first discovered.

Paleontologists have yet to discover a complete set of Plesiosuchus remains, making it difficult to classify this creature. However, most experts believe it is crocodilian.

Scientists estimate that the adult Plesiosuchus grew to be approximately 17 ft long. That’s 2 feet longer than the modern American Crocodile!

Plesiosuchus had large, ridged, rectangular-shaped teeth. These teeth - in combination with a powerful jaw bone - made chewing through thick material quite easy.
