Aegyptosuchus

Aegyptosuchus is an extinct eusuchian genus of the family Aegyptosuchidae. This taxon was coined by Kuhn as a monotypic family-level taxon redundant with the Cretaceous genus Aegyptosuchus. Carroll classified the genus in the family Stomatosuchidae. Only one species is descript, Aegyptosuchus...
