Stenosaurus was a marine crocodile from the world-renown late Jurassic, black, oil-bearing shale
or slate at Holzmaden, Germany. In the area around Holzmaden, slate was quarried for hundreds
of years and is still quarried today up to 38 feet in depth. The slate is mainly used for floor slabs
and table tops. Thousands of highly remarkable fossils have been found in the quarries. Many of
the fossils are covered in golden pyrite. This is locality is referred to by geologists and
paleontologists as a Lagerstatten because of the exceptional preservation of fossils and their
diversity.
