<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Tumbler Ridge Museum has attached for immediate release, details regarding newly published research on the ancient crocodiles of Tumbler Ridge – larger than any previously recorded.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">While the Tumbler Ridge area has become well known for its dinosaurs, there is something special about crocodiles. They did not become extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, but have ‘survivor status’, and are
still with us today with a recognizably similar body plan.<o:p></o:p></p>
