Partial Steneosaurus Crocodile Skull Fossil – Whitby Yorkshire Coast – Jurassic

This partial Steneosaurus crocodile skull fossil was discovered on the famous Yorkshire Coast near Whitby, one of the most important Jurassic fossil locations in the United Kingdom.

Steneosaurus was a marine crocodile that lived in the Jurassic seas around 180 million years ago. These reptiles had long, narrow snouts and sharp teeth adapted for catching fish in coastal waters.

Fossils of Jurassic crocodiles are far less common than ammonites, making specimens such as this partial crocodile skull a fascinating and collectible example of the marine reptiles that once lived along the Yorkshire Coast.
