“The humerus, or legbone, of an extinct crocodile relative was between the jaws of Joaquinraptor and directly in contact with the teeth,” says Ibiricu. “This discovery is suggesting, though not proving, that the new megaraptor may have been eating the crocodyliform [the clade that modern crocodiles belong to] when it died.”
