Uberabasuchus

Uberabasuchus ("Uberaba crocodile")[1] is an extinct genus of crocodylomorph from the Late Cretaceous Serra da Galga Formation of Brazil.

It appears to have a high skull like that of the sebecosuchians, but differs from them in having teeth with circular cross-section.

Thus, rather than slicing flesh and blood vessels, it is likely to have inflicted powerful crushing bites (same is likely for Lomasuchus and Peirosaurus).

The post-crania and the geology suggesting an arid climate indicate that Uberabasuchus was likely a terrestrial predator.
