Chigutisauridae is an extinct family of large temnospondyls. The only genera recognized as belonging to Chigutisauridae at the current time are all from Gondwana. Chigutisaurids first appeared during the Early Triassic in Australia.[1] During the Late Triassic they became widely distributed in Gondwana, with fossils found in South Africa, India and South America.[2] Koolasuchus from the Early Cretaceous of Australia represents the youngest known temnospondyl.[3][1]
