Sebecosuchians The Croc Cousins That Competed With Theropods

Sebecosuchians The Croc Cousins That Competed With Theropods Sebecosuchians were a successful group of predatory notosuchians mostly native to the southern continents (with some notable exceptions). this lineage of hyp. The combination of these characters leads speculates that sebecosuchians were active terrestrial predators that could even compete with medium size theropod dinosaurs as top predators during the.

Sebecosuchians The Croc Cousins That Competed With Theropods Youtube Credit to artbyjrc. sebecids are the last of a long lasting, very successful group of terrestrial predators, the sebecosuchians. these were crocodylomorphs related to true crocodilians; but while crocodilians have included semiaquatic, terrestrial (planocraniids and mekosuchines) and marine forms (some of the gharials), virtually every. Sebecosuchia (meaning "sobek crocodiles") is an extinct group of mesoeucrocodylian crocodyliforms that includes the families sebecidae and baurusuchidae.the group was long thought to have first appeared in the late cretaceous with the baurusuchids and become extinct in the miocene with the last sebecids, but razanandrongobe pushes the origin of sebecosuchia to the middle jurassic. [1]. Sebecus (meaning "sebek" in latin) is an extinct genus of sebecid crocodylomorph from eocene of south america. like other sebecosuchians, it was entirely terrestrial and carnivorous. the genus is currently represented by two species, the type s. icaeorhinus and s. ayrampu. [ 1] several other species have been referred to sebecus, but were later. It is noteworthy that the inferred ectothermic sebecosuchians occupy a niche usually occupied by endothermic theropod dinosaurs (benson et al. 2013; zanno and makovicky 2013).

A well preserved dentary from the late cretaceous of neuquén province, argentina, represents a new taxon of sebecosuchian crocodyliform, pehuenchesuchus enderi.the specimen retains a number of diagnostic characters and is referable to sebecosuchia on the basis of two derived features (a longitudinal groove on the lateral surface of the dentary and a sigmoidal tooth row in dorsal view). As with other sebecosuchians, it is likely that bergisuchus was a fast, terrestrial predator and not an aquatic ambush hunter like modern crocodylians. its presence in europe is also unusual, as later sebecosuchians were restricted entirely to south america, and so bergisuchus indicates the group was once much more widespread in the early cenozoic.
