Platysuchus

Platysuchus ("flat crocodile") is an extinct genus of teleosaurid crocodyliform from the Early Jurassic (Toarcian) of southern Germany and Luxembourg.

Platysuchus was originally described as a member of the genus Mystriosaurus, as M.

[1] However, Westphal (1961) found M. multiscrobiculatus generically distinct from Mystriosaurus and renamed it Platysuchus.

Platysuchus has been found in Toarcian age marine deposits in southern Germany and Luxembourg.
