"It has hitherto been supposed that the extinct Sebecosuchia, or 'dinosaur-toothed' crocodiles, were confined to South America. Discovery of compressed recurved crocodilian teeth with serrated secant edges fore and aft in North America (Eocene), Europe (Eocene), Africa (Miocene), and Asia (Jurassic) raises the question: Were the Sebecosuchia cosmopolitan crocodilians? What evidenc there is, both direct and circumstantial, seems to support the affirmative."
