Strange, its teeth interlock neatly but stop the jaw closing. Most crocodiles have teeth overlapping their other jaw.

Would make an interesting thing to refer to in Mythos tales - if this is the missing link between crocodiles (and alligators and such) and marine reptiles like Icthysaurus and Plesiosaur, surely other such links exist. How's about the common link between aquatic mammals (whales/dolphins/porpoises) and mammalian reptiles (not too sure of any names off hand)?

Nah, they're too squishy and they're all animal.

Yeah, but look at the damned things-Lovecraft would be reduced to catatonia by the sight of the Colossal Squid.

He hated fish, he'd go nowhere near one to see it.

Suppose one creapt up on him, motivated by cruelty and enraged by the smell of garlic and melted butter, crying,"Mommie, you are avenged!".
Could happen.

Weird. That very same thing happened to Amelia Earhart.

Just a crazy, mixed-up squid.

I thought Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked someone so fast his foot went back in time and knocked her plane off course.

The squid got her after the crash landing.

This is an abuse of the craft, you know.

Makes sense. Reckon they were working in tandem?

Just a happy accident(for the squid).
