Prepped by transfer method. Mr. G. Mayr from Senckenberg Institute was so kind to determine the family: It's a Messelirrisor sp., a relative of the Hoopoe. with preserved plumage (can be best seen with backlight) Picture taken by Dûrzan cîrano, distributed by Wikimedia under GNU Free Documentation License Lit.: Mayr, G.

Prepped by transfer method. For about 30 years, I wasn't sure whether this juvenile crocodile was Diplocynodon darwini or Allognathosuchus haupti. Dr. Alex Hastings from the Virginia Museum of Natural History was so kind to determine it: "It looks to me like a young Diplocynodon darwini. I say D. darwini instead of D. deponiae mostly because of the general lack of osteoderms on the tail and legs. Allognathosuchus has more of a round snout/head, and even at this size would look more mature. The fenestrae at the back of the skull are still fairly oblong and the eyes are overly large, indicating a pretty young individual, maybe a year or two old. It looks a lot like several of the young D. darwini we had from Geiseltal, which overlaps in age and environment with Messel." References: Ludwig, R.
