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 .
Crocodilia (/ k r ɒ k ə ˈ d ɪ l i ə /) is an order of semiaquatic, predatory reptiles that are known as crocodilians.They first appeared during the Late Cretaceous and are the closest living relatives of birds.
Stolokrosuchus is an extinct genus of crocodyliforms that lived during the Early Cretaceous. Its fossils, including a skull with a long thin snout and bony knobs on the prefrontal, have been found in Niger. Stolokrosuchus was described in 2000 by Hans Larsson and Boubacar Gado. The type species is S. lapparenti.
Notosuchia is a suborder of primarily Gondwanan mesoeucrocodylian crocodylomorphs that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous.Some phylogenies recover Sebecosuchia as a clade within Notosuchia, others as a sister group (see below); if Sebecosuchia is included within Notosuchia its existence is pushed into the Middle Miocene, about 11 million years ago.
Sarcosuchus (/ ˌ s ɑːr k oʊ ˈ s uː k ə s /; lit. ' 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.
Bernissartia ('of Bernissart') is an extinct genus of neosuchian crocodyliform that lived in the Early Cretaceous, around 130 million years ago. Restoration Lateral view of skull At only 60 centimetres (2.0 ft) in length, Bernissartia is one of the smallest crocodyliforms that ever lived. [ 2 ]
Zosuchus ("Zos [Canyon] crocodile") is a genus of basal, Late Cretaceous crocodyliform from Mongolia. The type species is Z. davidsoni, after preparator Amy Davidson. The name was amended to davidsonae in 2004.
Shartegosuchidae is an extinct family of Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous crocodyliforms.The family is named after the Late Jurassic Shar Teeg Beds in southwestern Mongolia, from which most shartegosuchid remains have been found.
