Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent after Asia.
Crocodyliformes
Crocodyliformes is a clade of crurotarsan archosaurs, the group often traditionally referred to as "crocodilians".
See Sokotosuchus and Crocodyliformes
Dukamaje Formation
The Dukamaje Formation is a geological formation in Niger and Nigeria whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous.

Dyrosauridae
Dyrosauridae is a family of extinct neosuchian crocodyliforms that lived from the Campanian to the Eocene. Sokotosuchus and Dyrosauridae are Dyrosaurids and Prehistoric marine crocodylomorphs.

Extinction
Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.
See Sokotosuchus and Extinction
Fossilworks
Fossilworks is a portal which provides query, download, and analysis tools to facilitate access to the Paleobiology Database, a large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world.

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.
Maastrichtian
The Maastrichtian is, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) geologic timescale, the latest age (uppermost stage) of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or Upper Cretaceous Series, the Cretaceous Period or System, and of the Mesozoic Era or Erathem.

Mali
Mali, officially the Republic of Mali, is a landlocked country in West Africa.
Nigeria
Nigeria, officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a country in West Africa.
Palaeontology (journal)
Palaeontology is one of the two scientific journals of the Palaeontological Association (the other being Papers in Palaeontology).
