Yarasuchus, a lightly built archosaur from the Middle Triassic of India, was once assigned to this group, [13] although a 2017 study placed it as an avemetatarsalian in the newly defined group Aphanosauria. [14] Finally, Saurosuchus was a huge carnivore, 6 or 7 meters long, whose fossils are known from the Late Carnian of Argentina.
P. kirkpatricki compared to a human. Postosuchus was one of the largest carnivorous reptiles during the late Triassic. The length of the paratype is estimated up to 3.5–4 m (11–13 ft) long, [3] and an individual of such length would have measured 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall at the head when stood upright and weighed around 250–300 kilograms (550–660 lb). [4]
Herrerasaurus was a lightly built bipedal carnivore with a long tail and a relatively small head. Adults had skulls up to 56 cm (22 in) long and were up to 6 m (20 ft) in total length [ 4 ] and 350 kg (770 lb) in weight. [ 38 ]
The largest shuvosaurid and one of the largest pseudosuchian from the Triassic period was Sillosuchus. Biggest specimens could have reached 9–10 m (30–33 ft) in length. [326] [327] The largest known carnivorous pseudosuchian of the Triassic is loricatan Fasolasuchus tenax, which measured an estimated of 8 to 10 m (26 to 33 ft).
Restoration of Batrachotomus, a Middle Triassic rauisuchian from Germany.This genus is known from abundant fossil material and belongs to the clade Loricata Hip joint and hindlimb postures of (1) "sprawling" amniotes (lizards and crocodilians) (2) "erect" amniotes (mammals and dinosaurs), and (3) "pillar-erect" amniotes ("rauisuchians" and aetosaurs) The hip of Prestosuchus (AMNH 3856)
Rhynchosaur lineages which were common in the Middle Triassic went extinct, leaving only the specialized hyperodapedontines as representatives of the group. Immediately after the CPE, hyperodapedontines were widespread and abundant in the late Carnian world, suggesting that they benefited from the climate fluctuations or floral turnover. [ 51 ]

The herd nature of Desmatosuchus apparently did little to discourage predators, as Postosuchus along with several other Late Triassic carnivores also traveled in groups. [2] Most thecodonts of the Late Triassic lacked certain pelvic features that aided locomotion, such as a deep acetabulum or a crest over the acetabulum.
