Earlier we looked at the skull roof of Sikannisuchus. Unfortunately, I ignored those long mandible bits and pieces. These give us more clues to restore the missing parts in lateral view (Fig. 1).
Sikannisuhus huskyi restored on must a view bits and pieces. Nesting with Postosuchus provides clues to the shapes of the missing parts. That’s a nice long skull. Must have been a BIG reptile.
If I made any errors, or the clues point in another direction, let me know.
