A fossil or mineralized form of crocodile remains; the study of ancient crocodile specimens preserved in stone.
From 'crocodile' + '-lite,' a Greek suffix meaning 'stone' or 'fossil' (as in 'meteorite' or 'trilobite'), used in paleontology to denote fossilized organisms.
Fossil crocodiles tell an amazing story—their teeth marks found on dinosaur bones prove they lived alongside T-Rex and survived where dinosaurs didn't, making them some of Earth's most successful predators!
