Libycosuchus is an extinct genus of North African crocodyliform possibly related to Notosuchus;[1][2] it is part of the monotypic Libycosuchidae[3] and Libycosuchinae.
[4] It was terrestrial, living approximately 95 million years ago in the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous.
Fossil remains have been found in the Bahariya Formation in Egypt,[5] making it contemporaneous with the crocodilian Stomatosuchus, and dinosaurs, including the famous Spinosaurus.
[1] The holotype was discovered during the early 1910s by Richard Markgraf, and the type species, L. brevirostis, was named in 1914[6] and described in 1915.
[5] It was one of the few fossils described by Ernst Stromer that wasn't destroyed by the Royal Air Force during the bombing of Munich in 1944.
