Arambourgia
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Template:Automatic taxobox Arambourgia is an extinct monotypic genus of alligatorine crocodylian from Europe. It was named in 1905 as Allognathosuchus gaudryi. It was made a separate genus Arambourgia in 1940. This was synonymized with Allognathosuchus haupti in 1990[1] (now known as Hassiacosuchus haupti), but later reassigned as its own genus once again in 2004.[2] Arambourgia was likely to have been part of an early dispersal event of alligatorines from North America to Europe during the Eocene epoch. Arambourgia had non-serrated teeth and a deep orienirostral snout, unlike the flatter snouts of most other alligatorids.
Recent studies have consistently resolved Arambourgia as a member of Alligatorinae, although its relative placement is disputed, as shown by the cladograms below.[3][4][5]

Palaeoecology
Based on its unusual anatomy and it having been found in karstic settings, A. gaudryi occupied an ecological niche analogous to present-day juvenile and dwarf crocodylians.[6]
