abstract
  • Mekosuchus is a genus of extinct Australasian crocodile within the subfamily Mekosuchinae. It is believed to have been made extinct by the arrival of man on the South Pacific islands where it lived. This genus was small in size and terrestrial, making it the last group of terrestrial crocodilians. Fossils of related mekosuchines, such as Trilophosuchus, have been found from Miocene Australia (the earliest known mekosuchine is the Eocene genus Kambara), though the mekosuchines had gone extinct in Australia prior to the arrival of humans. Mekosuchus survived until the Holocene, and subfossils have been found in New Caledonia and Vanuatu.
