Eurycephalosuchus

Eurycephalosuchus is an extinct genus of orientalosuchine alligatoroid from the Late Cretaceous Hekou Formation of China. Known from a well preserved skull and mandible alongside various postcranial remains, Eurycephalosuchus possessed a skull that was unusually short and broad skull, even by the standards of other orientalosuchins. Its skulltable is also noted for being unusually short and its dentition features both elongated caniniforms and bulbous molariforms. Based on the size of the skull, Eurycephalosuchus may have been the smallest member of its lineage. The Hekou Formation was also home to two other crocodilians, the possibly related Jiangxisuchus and an indetermined member of Brevirostres. The genus Eurycephalosuchus is monotypic, containing only a single species: Eurycephalosuchus gannanensis.
