It is known from fossils found in rocks of the Early Cretaceous-age Tugulu Group from the Junggar Basin, Xinjiang, China.

An articulated partial postcranial skeleton may also belong to this genus, but there is no overlapping material between it and known Edentosuchus specimens.

[1] Yang originally assigned it to its own family (Edentosuchidae) within Protosuchia,[2] but later research by Diego Pol and colleagues using the new material found it to be a protosuchid.

In the lower jaw, several of the nine teeth on each side featured small cusps, but the second tooth was a greatly enlarged fang.

Living alongside it were turtles, dsungaripterid pterosaurs, and theropod, sauropod, stegosaurian, psittacosaurid, and ornithopod dinosaurs.
