False gavial Tomistoma schlegelii
Location: San Antonio Zoo, San Antonio, TX
Year: 1994
Merckslides catalogue number: 04-15100
Comments: This is the genus that so exercised Chris Brochu during his research. All the jell-jocks insisted it had diverged from true gavials within the last seven million years, when Chris had fossils of distinct gavials and tomistomines from the Paleocene. So much for molecular clocks.
