Indosinosuchus
Indosinosuchus ("Indochinese crocodile") is a genus of teleosaurid neosuchian that lived during the Early Cretaceous in what is now Thailand. It contains a single species, I. potamosiamensis, recovered from the lower Phu Kradung Formation.[1] It was originally believed to have lived during the Middle to Late Jurassic, but new palynology data suggests an age of Early Cretaceous (Berriasian).[2]
