Allodaposuchidae is an extinct family of basal eusuchians that lived in southern Europe during the Late Cretaceous (Santonian-Maastrichtian).[1][2]

Systematics

The type genus, Allodaposuchus, was originally described in 1928 from the Maastrichtian-age Sard Formation of the Hațeg Basin in Transylvania, Romania, and classified as a relative of the North American Leidyosuchus.[3] It was later classified as a eusuchian outside of Crocodylia in a 2001 paper, and subsequent studies found a number of European eusuchian species (Arenysuchus, Ischyrochampsa, Massaliasuchus, Musturzabalsuchus) to group with Allodapsuchus, prompting the erection of the clade Allodaposuchidae to accommodate Allodaposuchus and all European eusuchians closely related to it.[1][2][4][5][6][7]
