Terminonaris is a genus of extinct crocodilian reptiles (more specifically pholidosaurid mesoeucrocodylians) that lived in the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian and Turonian[1][2]). Its remains are known from North America. Originally known under the generic name Teleorhinus, it was once believed to be a teleosaurid (a family of marine gavial-like thalattosuchians).
