Hesperosuchus is an extinct genus of crocodylomorph reptile that is more closely related to

crocodilians than dinosaurs.

Sphenosuchus is an extinct genus of crocodylomorph from the Early Jurassic Elliot


Formation of South Africa, discovered in the 20th century. It was probably quadrupedal, but
may have been a facultative biped, and was first described by Alick Walker in 1972. Broom
believed it was a Pseudosuchian, while von Huene emphasized it as an important stage of
crocodile evolution.

Protosuchus is an extinct genus of carnivorous crocodylomorph from the Early Jurassic. It


was about 1 metre (3.3 ft) in length and 40 kilograms (88 lb) in weight. It had short jaws
that broadened out at the base of the skull, providing a large surface to which its jaw
muscles could attach. It also possessed a powerful tail which later developed into a
propulsion mechanism through water. It was an unusual quadrupedal reptile with columnar
legs and five toes, believed to be good runners and swimmers.

Theriosuchus is an extinct genus of neosuchian from Europe, Asia, and North America.

Bernissartia is an extinct genus of neosuchian crocodyliform that lived in the Early


Cretaceous, around 130 million years ago. It was semi-aquatic and had long, pointed teeth at
the front of the jaws for catching fish, but broad and flat teeth at the back for crushing hard
food.

Borealosuchus is an extinct genus of crocodyliforms that lived from the Late Cretaceous to
the Eocene in North America. It was named by Chris Brochu in 1997 for several species that
had been assigned to Leidyosuchus.
