The Evolution of Extreme Hypercarnivory in Metriorhynchidae (Mesoeucrocodylia: Thalattosuchia) Based on Evidence from Microscopic Denticle Morphology (2010, background): “Further, it has been shown that short-snouted metriorhynchids were biomechanically fit to perform the ‘death roll’ (Pierce et al., 2009b; Young et al., 2010), a feeding strategy that increases efficiency with predator size at an exponential rate, being particularly useful in the killing and…”
