Paleorhinus bransomi |
Paleorhinus was a genus of several small crocodile-like semi-aquatic animals that lived in the Late Triassic, specifically the earlier Late Carnian period. The reptiles lived throughout Europe, North America, and North Africa. This genus usually also includes the more appropriately named Parasuchus, which lived in India.
