Remains of 93 million years old crocodile were found, scientists were shocked to find a child of this animal in the stomach

Scientific Research: Scientists from the Advanced Nuclear and Synchrotron Imaging of Australia have discovered a crocodile and its last food, which is 93 million years old. In fact, scientists have made this discovery through advanced atomic and synchrotron imaging. They have confirmed in their research that the remains found in the stomach of a 93 million-year-old crocodile found in central Queensland belong to a juvenile dinosaur.

The discovery was made in 2010 by a team led by Dr Matt White at the Australian Age of Dinosaur Museum (QLD) in collaboration with the University of New England. They found that the crocodile, which can be scientifically called Confractosuchus sauroctonos, was about 2 to 2.5 meters long. Scientists also called it a ‘broken’ crocodile in common language.

Due to being found in a broken boulder, the name was broken crocodile.

Scientists called it a broken crocodile because it was found in a huge broken boulder. Preliminary neutron imaging scans of a rock fragment from a boulder revealed the bones of a small chicken-sized juvenile dinosaur in the gut, an ornithopod that has yet to be formally identified by the species.

Senior instrument scientist Dr Joseph Bevitt said the dinosaur bones were entirely within a dense ironstone rock and were discovered when the specimen was exposed to the force of neutrons at ANSTO.

Neutron imaging helped a lot

Dingo, Australia’s only neutron imaging instrument, can be used to produce two- and three-dimensional images of a solid object and reveal hidden features within it. Dr Bewitt explained that “In early scans in 2015, I saw a buried bone that looked like a chicken bone with a hook on it and immediately thought it was a dinosaur.”
