Dollosuchus is an extinct genus of gavialid. It is a basal tomistomine closely related to Kentisuchus, according to several phylogenetic analyses that have been been conducted in recent years, and is the oldest known tomistomine to date. Fossils have been found from Belgium and the United Kingdom. It had large supratemporal fenestrae in relation to its orbits, similar to Kentisuchus and Thecachampsa.

abstract	Dollosuchus is an extinct genus of gavialid. It is a basal tomistomine closely related to Kentisuchus, according to several phylogenetic analyses that have been been conducted in recent years, and is the oldest known tomistomine to date. Fossils have been found from Belgium and the United Kingdom. It had large supratemporal fenestrae in relation to its orbits, similar to Kentisuchus and Thecachampsa. Dollosuchus was originally described on the basis of numerous mandibular fragments found from the Early to Middle Eocene Bracklesham Beds in the United Kingdom. The material cannot be distinguished from other related longirostrine, or long-snouted, crocodilians. The type specimen, IRScNB 482, is currently housed in the Gand Museum in Belgium.
