Chroniosuchus (2023 Paleontology Project) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chroniosuchus (greek for “ancient crocodile”; chronos meaning “time” and suchus meaning “crocodile”) is an extinct genus of chroniosuchid from the upper Permian period. The first fossils of chroniosuchus were discovered in the 1940s and 1950s in Russia, and the species was first named by Vjuschkov in 1957[1]. Chroniosuchus is known for its distinctive body armor of large bony plates, known as scutes, that covered its back and sides. These scutes varied among species providing clues of their evolution and classification among the chroniosuchidae family.[2][3]
