Araripesuchus Wegeneri
''Araripesuchus'' is a genus of extinct crocodyliform that existed during the Cretaceous period of the late Mesozoic era some 125 to 66 million years ago. Six species of ''Araripesuchus'' are currently known. They are generally considered to be notosuchians (belonging to the clade Mesoeucrocodylia), characterized by their varied teeth types and distinct skull elements. This genus consists of six species: ''A. buitreraensis'', discovered in Argentina, ''A. wegeneri'', discovered in Cameroon and Niger, ''A. rattoides'', discovered in Niger, ''A. tsangatsangana'', discovered in Madagascar, ''A. gomesii'' (the type species), discovered in Brazil and another species discovered in Argentina, ''A. patagonicus''. Description Its length was about with a weight of . ''Araripesuchus'' can be distinguished by their laterally bulged edges of the snout, with the bulge being the most prominent around the area of an enlarged maxillary tooth.

Anatosuchus
''Anatosuchus'' ("duck crocodile", the name from the Latin ''anas'' ("duck") and the Greek language, Greek ''souchos'' ("crocodile"), for the broad, duck-like snout) is an extinct genus of notosuchian Crocodylomorpha, crocodylomorph discovered in Gadoufaoua, Niger, and described by a team of palaeontologists led by the United States, American Paul C. Sereno, Paul Sereno in 2003, in the ''Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology''. Its duck-like snout coincidentally makes it resemble a crocoduck, an imagined hybrid animal with the head of a crocodile and the body of a duck. Discovery The type species of ''Anatosuchus'' is ''A. minor'', in reference to its small body size. The holotype material (MNN GDF603), is a nearly complete skull with articulated lower jaws, belonging to a juvenile. It was discovered from the upper portion of the Elrhaz Formation and lower portion of Echkar Formation, indicating an Early Cretaceous (Late Aptian or Early Albian) age. Another specimen was found later ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Iberosuchus
''Iberosuchus'' (meaning "Iberian crocodile") is a genus of extinct sebecosuchian mesoeucrocodylian found in Western Europe from the Eocene. Remains from Portugal was described in 1975 by Antunes as a sebecosuchian crocodilian. This genus has one species: ''I. macrodon'' (meaning "large toothed). ''Iberosuchus'' was a carnivore, unlike the crocodilians today, they are not aquatic and are instead terrestrial. The first of its fossils were cranial remains found in Portugal, and later more fossils were found in France and Spain. They are only known from very fragmentary fossils, elements of the skull, dentary, teeth and osteoderm. History and discovery Remains of a mesocrocodylian were found in Portugal, it was named ''Iberosuchus macrodon'' in 1975 by Antunes, and is assigned as the type species. It was reclassified as a baurusuchid by Robert Carroll in 1988. In 1996 Ortega and colleges extended their range to France, they analyzed the fragmentary fossils of ''Atacisaurus crassi ...

Notosuchus
''Notosuchus'' (; 'southern crocodile') is an extinct genus of South American notosuchian crocodylomorph. It was terrestrial, living approximately 85 million years ago in the Santonian stage of the Late Cretaceous. Description ''Notosuchus'' was relatively small, reaching in length and a weight of . Remains have been found in the Bajo de la Carpa Formation in Patagonia, Argentina. First named in 1896, ''Notosuchus'' was the first known notosuchian. The type species is ''N. terrestris''. A second species, ''N. lepidus'', was named in 1957. A paper published in 2008 by Fiorelli and Calvo described new remains of the type species ''N. terrestris''. In it, the authors suggested that the skull would have supported a short trunk, or "hog's snout" as well as fleshy upper and lower lips. The anteriorly directed nares and the absence of a bony nasal septum (which presumably indicates cartilaginous tissue serving its place) provide evidence for a trunk-like snout, while striations on the ...

Early Cretaceous
The Early Cretaceous ( geochronological name) or the Lower Cretaceous (chronostratigraphic name), is the earlier or lower of the two major divisions of the Cretaceous. It is usually considered to stretch from 145 Ma to 100.5 Ma. Geology Proposals for the exact age of the Barremian-Aptian boundary ranged from 126 to 117 Ma until recently (as of 2019), but based on drillholes in Svalbard the defining early Aptian Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE1a) was carbon isotope dated to 123.1±0.3 Ma, limiting the possible range for the boundary to c. 122–121 Ma. There is a possible link between this anoxic event and a series of Early Cretaceous large igneous provinces (LIP). The Ontong Java-Manihiki-Hikurangi large igneous province, emplaced in the South Pacific at c. 120 Ma, is by far the largest LIP in Earth's history. The Ontong Java Plateau today covers an area of 1,860,000 km2. In the Indian Ocean another LIP began to form at c. 120 Ma, the Kerguelen P ...
