Trematochampsa, the Glossary

Trematochampsa is a dubious extinct genus of crocodyliform from the Late Cretaceous (Coniacian-Santonian age) In Beceten Formation of Niger.^[1]

Anatosuchus

Anatosuchus ("duck crocodile", the name from the Latin anas ("duck") and the Greek souchos ("crocodile"), for the broad, duck-like snout) is an extinct genus of notosuchian crocodyliforms discovered in Gadoufaoua, Niger, and described by a team of palaeontologists led by the American Paul Sereno in 2003, in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Trematochampsa and Anatosuchus are Prehistoric pseudosuchian genera.
