Scelidosaurus possibly, but Megalosaurus lived MUCH later. It didn't live any closer in time to Dimorphodon than humans and chalicotheres.

And also remember that Pangaea still existed at the time of Dimorphodon IIRC. It could've been found on both continents.

Yes, we have evidence that the Tethys covered a good junk of Europe across the Mesozoic.

Also how did Kaprosuchus hunt ???

Apex or chasing ?

You mean ambush? Because "apex" isn't a hunting method. xD I suspect a bit of both, it looks built for running to an extent, but at the same time its armour might slow it down a little.

(@hananas: Being an apex predator means that the animal is at the top of the food chain, for example, humans are the apex predators of nearly every food chain)

@Stephen , sorry I messed things up.

Well I am going to let him kill a fictional iguanodontid (because there is no big prey in the echkar formation) and Im letting him kill it by ambush .

I'd like to point out that Kaprosuchus is only known from a single skull, and it doesn't really suggest a terrestrial life style at all. The estimates of 6m or more also aren't all that great, as it's skull size suggests it was more around the size of an american alligator. Granted, further skeletal remains may show that Kaprosuchus really was a terrestrial croc, but right now that is no more likely than a semi-aquatic one.
