Description

Saurosuchus galilei was a large, powerful predatory archosaur that lived during the Late Triassic, about 230 million years ago, in what is now northwestern Argentina.

Reaching around 5.5–7 metres in length, it was a heavily built quadruped with a short, robust neck, strong limbs, and a massive skull armed with recurved, serrated teeth.

As a prestosuchid loricatan, it was related to the ancestors of modern crocodilians rather than dinosaurs.

Saurosuchus was likely an apex predator of the Ischigualasto ecosystem, hunting other reptiles and early dinosaurs.
Its fossils provide important evidence of the diverse predatory archosaurs that dominated Triassic South America.
