Baurusuchus is an extinct genus of baurusuchid mesoeucrocodylian from the Late Cretaceous of South America. It was a terrestrial predator and scavenger, about 3.5 to 4 metres (11 to 13 ft) long and 80 to 100 kilograms (180 to 220 lb) in weight.[1] Baurusuchus lived during the Turonian to Santonian stages (90-83.5 million years ago) of the Late Cretaceous Period, in Adamantina Formation, Brazil.[2] It gets its name from the Brazilian Bauru Group ("Bauru crocodile"). It was related to the earlier-named Cynodontosuchus rothi, which was smaller, with weaker dentition.[3] The three species are B. pachechoi,[4] B. salgadoensis (named after General Salgado County in São Paulo, Brazil)[5] and B. albertoi (named after Dr. Alberto Barbosa de Carvalho, Brazilian paleontologist).[2] Its relatives incl
