Heterodontosuchus

Heterodontosuchus is a dubious genus of extinct phytosaur.

The genus was first described from a fragmentary anterior section of the mandible found from the Henry Mountains in southeastern Utah, USA.

[1] The name Heterodontosuchus refers to the difference in size between anterior and posterior teeth on this mandible.

[2] The teeth were compressed antero-posteriorly spaced closely together.

[3] The genus is now thought to be synonymous with Nicrosaurus, and the type and only species, H. ganei, is regarded as a nomen dubium due to the fragmentary nature of the remains associated with it.
