A new alligatoroid from the Eocene of Vietnam highlights an extinct Asian clade independent from extant Alligator sinensis
During systematic paleontological surveys in the Na Duong Basin in North Vietnam between
2009 and 2012, well-preserved fossilized cranial and postcranial remains belonging to at
