Teeth of a small durophagous crocodile from the Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) of North Germany

An outcrop of Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) age in Lower Saxony (NW Germany) has yielded small teeth probably of crocodilian origin. The dental morphology is still unknown among crocodiles and indicates a durophagous habit. The teeth are provisionally referred to as Metasuchia fam., gen. et sp. indet.

Kies- / Sandkörper im Wesertal zwischen Rinteln und Porta Westfalica

In this article the sand-/gravelbodies from Hausberge-Veltheim and Krankenhagen- Möllenbeck in the Wesertal are described and compared considering their depositional and architectural regime. A scenario is developed to explain the genetic sequence of the deposits. The sand-/gravel-body exposed at Krankenhagen-Möllenbeck was deposited first in form of a marginal käme. Subsequently during the Drenthe-stade of the Saale ice age, the sedimentation of the sand- /gravelbody at Hausberge-Veltheim took place under the depositional environment of an end- moraine.
