Chasmatosuchus

 Chasmatosuchus was a large archosauriform reptile from the early Triassic period of South Africa and China. It is one of the earliest well-known archosauriforms. It was over 6 ft (2m) long and is thought to have behaved like a modern crocodile. Its mouth had two distinct features: the top of its jaw hooked downwards to aid in holding prey, and the upper palate was lined with a row of teeth—a primitive feature lost in later archosaurs.

 Хасматозух (Chasmatosuchus) — ближайший родич протерозуха из раннего триаса Приуралья (Верхняя Ветлуга, оленекский ярус). Известен по фрагментарным остаткам, длина черепа до 25-30 см. По-видимому, питался мелкой добычей, зубы сильно изогнуты назад, длинные, тонкие. Типовой вид — C. rossicus.
