China
China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia.
Crocodyliformes
Crocodyliformes is a clade of crurotarsan archosaurs, the group often traditionally referred to as "crocodilians". Sichuanosuchus and Crocodyliformes are crocodyliforms.

Early Cretaceous
The Early Cretaceous (geochronological name) or the Lower Cretaceous (chronostratigraphic name) is the earlier or lower of the two major divisions of the Cretaceous.

Extinction
Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.
See Sichuanosuchus and Extinction
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Late Jurassic
The Late Jurassic is the third epoch of the Jurassic Period, and it spans the geologic time from 161.5 ± 1.0 to 145.0 ± 0.8 million years ago (Ma), which is preserved in Upper Jurassic strata.

Mesoeucrocodylia
Mesoeucrocodylia is the clade that includes Eusuchia and crocodyliforms formerly placed in the paraphyletic group Mesosuchia. Sichuanosuchus and Mesoeucrocodylia are crocodyliforms.

Shartegosuchidae
Shartegosuchidae is an extinct family of Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous crocodyliforms. Sichuanosuchus and Shartegosuchidae are crocodyliforms, Mesozoic reptiles of Asia and Terrestrial crocodylomorphs.
See Sichuanosuchus and Shartegosuchidae
Type species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).
