Allodaposuchidae
Allodaposuchidae is an extinct clade of basal eusuchians that lived in southern Europe during the Late Cretaceous.Systematics
The type genus, Allodaposuchus, was originally described in 1928 from the Maastrichtian-age Sard Formation of the Hațeg Basin in Transylvania, Romania, and classified as a relative of the North American Leidyosuchus. It was later classified as a eusuchian outside of Crocodylia in a 2001 paper, and subsequent studies found a number of European eusuchian species to group with Allodaposuchus, prompting the erection of the clade Allodaposuchidae to accommodate Allodaposuchus and all European eusuchians closely related to it.
