Check it out, Newswise has hi-res photos of the skull
and line drawings to help make sense of the fossil.
The skull really doesn't look all that wierd when
compared to other Metriorhynchids.


Yeah, it seems to be taking the ball from your _Metriorhynchus brachyrhynchus_ -type robust-snouted-sea-croc and running away with it....

While the drawings
are obviously from the paper, the article doesn't
mention where or when it will be published. It does
mention, however, that the December 2005 issue of
National Geographic Magazine will be featuring
Dakosaurus andiniensis.

..and more besides - this edition promises to be a 'must' for the collection.

Cheers
