Short-snouted Kryptops palaios, or “old hidden face,” was named for the horny covering that appears to have covered nearly all of its face. At about 25 feet in length, Kryptops was a voracious meat-eater and is related to another short-toothed predator Sereno’s team discovered in Niger, Rugops. Sereno and team discovered the upper jaw bone, vertebrae and ribs, and the pelvic girdle. |
