Torvoneustes

Wikipedia Abstract

Torvoneustes is an extinct genus of metriorhynchid mesoeucrocodylian. It is known from a partial skull and some postcranial remains that have been found from the Kimmeridge Clay of Wiltshire, England. The skull was first to be found, and was initially assigned to the species Metriorhynchus superciliosus. Postcranial remains were later discovered, and the material was then recognized as belonging to a new species of Dakosaurus, D. carpenteri. D. carpenteri was later reassigned to the genus Geosaurus in 2008. Two years later, it was assigned to its own genus, Torvoneustes.
