'Indian crocodile') is a genus of abelisaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period (70 to 66 million years ago – the Maastrichtian), a theropod related to Abelisaurus.
It was about 7 metres long, weighed about 1.2 tonnes,[1] and had a crested skull, flattened on the top.
Indosuchus was named by Friedrich von Huene in 1932[3] and was described by Huene and Charles Alfred Matley in 1933 from three partial skulls found by Matley in India near Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh in strata of the Lameta Formation.
Although it is now somewhat firmly placed within the Abelisauridae, it was originally assigned by von Huene to the Allosauridae.
Indosuchus is defined based on how the frontonasal suture is placed anteriorly compared to lacrimal, according to Novas et al., 2004.
