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.
