Suchodus is an extinct genus of marine crocodyliform from the Middle to Late Jurassic period of England and France. It measured between Template:Cvt in total body length.[1]
Taxonomy and phylogeny
In the 2000s, phylogenetic analysis has shown that Suchodus is a distinct metriorhynchid genus.[2][3]
S. durobrivensis was originally the type species of the genus Suchodus, but it was regarded as a junior synonym of Metriorhynchus by Andrews, 1913.[4] It's the only known valid species of the genus.
