Chenanisuchus

Wikipedia Abstract

Chenanisuchus ("Chenane crocodile") is a genus of dyrosaurid crocodyliform from the Late Cretaceous of Mali and the Late Palaeocene of Sidi Chenane in Morocco. It was described in 2005, after expeditions uncovered it in 2000. The type species is C. lateroculi ("lateralis", lateral; "oculi", eyes), in reference to the laterally facing eyes. Currently, Chenanisuchus is the most basal known dyrosaurid.
