Sabinosuchus

Sabinosuchus (meaning "wise crocodile") is a genus of Mesoeucrocodylian, from the Maastrichtian Escondido Formation of Coahuila, Mexico, with S. coahuilensis as the type species.[1][2][3] First described as a putative dyrosaurid by Shiller II et al. (2016),[2] it was tentatively redescribed as a pholidosaurid by Jouve & Jalil (2020).[4]
