Maomingosuchus
Maomingosuchus is an extinct genus of gavialoid crocodylian from Late Eocene (Priabonian)-aged deposits of China and possibly also Thailand.[2] The type species, originally Tomistoma petrolica, was named in 1958[3] and was redescribed as Maomingosuchus in 2017.[4] It is proposed to be a basal member of Gavialoidea.[1]
