Here we are, time again for the annual check-in with The Compact Thescelosaurus. Last year, you may recall, Cretaceous crocodylomorphs joined the crocodylomorph tab. At the time, I knew I was going to go into the Cenozoic, but wasn't sure how far. In the end I opted to cover the entire Paleogene (Paleocene, Eocene, and Oligocene). This proved to be mostly members of modern groups. In fact, some of the species are assigned to living genera, although in most cases it's pretty sure that the assignment was a mistake (hence the many names in quotation marks).
