Its fantastic to wake up on a Saturday afternoon (yes, afternoon), and realise that all I feel like doing is searching for journal articles about fossil crocodylians! I. duncani has beautifully articulated phalanges, but the metatarsals are completely disarticulated. I want to see if there are any similarities between the preservation of I. duncani and of other crocs, from all different depositional environments, among other things. Hoorah for Saturdays!

By the way, I found the book "Vertebrate Palaeontology" by Michael J Benton in my own Library on my notebook.
