The recently described caiman Paranacaiman bravardi from Miocene Argentina. While the paper gives no size estimate, my reconstruction recovered it at somewhere around 5 meters give or take, which is impressive in its own right.

Paranacaiman bravardi compared to Steve Irwin. At five meters its about the size of a large alligator or black caiman

We just got the second aetosaur of the year, yet another Typothoracine but this time much better preserved than Kryphioparma. Still only osteoderms tho, but from India, with some fascinating implications for paleobiogeography
