More Photos

Rauisuchus is a genus of extinct basal archosaurs which lived in what is now the Geopark of Paleorrota (Santa María Formation), Brazil, during the Middle to Late Triassic period (235-206 million years ago).[1] It contains one species, R. tiradentes.[2][3][4] The genus belonged to a group of land-dwelling relatives to crocodiles. These reptiles were among the top predators of their day, eating other reptiles for food and maybe hunting early dinosaurs. Rauisuchus possibly grew to a length of 4 m (13 ft) and would be 90 cm (35 in) high at the hips. It had a weight of around 250 kg (550 lb). The crocodylian-like genus was named after fossil collector Dr. Wilhelm Rau, who discovered the holotype in 1928 or 1929;[3] Rauisuchus. The name Rauisuchus means Wilhelm Rau's crocodile.
