In general, they were robust ambush predators adapted to freshwater habitats, feeding on fish and other vertebrates, and they were an important part of the Aguja ecosystem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAguja formation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Aguja Formation is a Late Cretaceous rock unit exposed in West Texas and parts of northern Mexico, best known for preserving coastal-plain and shallow-marine sediments deposited along the western margin of the Western Interior Seaway. It consists mainly of sandstone, shale, mudstone, and lignite, recording shifting environments such as deltas, shorefaces, marshes, swamps, and floodplains, and it has yielded a diverse fossil fauna including dinosaurs, crocodylians, turtles, plants, and fossil wood. In simple terms, it represents a dynamic ancient coastal ecosystem from the Campanian that preserves one of the southernmost dinosaur assemblages known in North America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Minute Man Fossils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45744843620489,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1022\/1193\/files\/20260421-124636.jpg?v=1776972776","url":"https:\/\/www.minutemantradingpost.com\/products\/crocodylomorph-tooth-texas-03","provider":"Minute Man Fossils","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
