Tracks of a crocodyliform are known since Cretaceous, at least. Tracks representing the ichnofamily Batrachopodidae are described from the Early Cretaceous (late Aptian ) Calonda Formation ( Angola ) by Mateus et al. (2017), who name a new ichnotaxon Angolaichnus adamanticus .

' flesh crocodile ') is an extinct genus of crocodyliform and distant relative of living crocodilians that lived during the Early Cretaceous, from the late Hauterivian to the early Albian, 133 to 112 million years ago of what is now Africa and South America.

Modern crocodilians, a subgroup of Neosuchia, emerged during the Late Cretaceous. [8] Crocodylomorph diversity was severely reduced by the end-Cretaceous extinction event . [ 9 ] The last group of terrestrially adapted crocodylomorphs was the Sebecidae , a group of large predatory notosuchians which persisted in South America until the middle ...
The Cretaceous (IPA: / k r ɪ ˈ t eɪ ʃ ə s / krih-TAY-shəss) [2] is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya).
