Description

Cosgriffius is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian. Historically, they navigated Early Triassic waterways in what is now Arizona.

Paleontologists identified the unique animal from a partial skull discovered in the Moenkopi Formation’s Meteor Crater Quarry.

The skull is famous for a distinctively long, slender snout. As a result, this marine hunter used its specialized head to catch fish in an early ecosystem.
