Hi, @mackenzie-white, What helped you identify this as a Phytosaurus? Do you have any other images possibly with a scale bar?
We can update your classification to Order Thecodontia > Family Phytosauridae.
I wasn’t able to find information on the Blue Mesa Member, do you have a reference I could look at?
Here is what I found on the Chinle: https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/strat_name/67109
Is it both the group and the formation?
Talk to you soon,
Jen
Group and formation are Chinle. When I was on site, the principal field investigator identified it as Phytosaur. The classification can be updated. Thank you!
Hm so maybe just Blue Mesa is incorrect then? Macrostrat suggests its from the Cenozoic which wouldn’t match the rest of the information!
