Anatosuchus
''Anatosuchus'' ("duck crocodile", the name from the Latin ''anas'' ("duck") and the Greek ''souchos'' ("crocodile"), for the broad, duck-like snout) is an extinct genus of notosuchian crocodylomorph discovered in Gadoufaoua, Niger, and described by a team of palaeontologists led by the American Paul Sereno in 2003, in the ''Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology''.〔Sereno PC, Sidor, C.A., Larsson HCE, Gado B. 2003. A new notosuchian from the Early Cretaceous of Niger. ''Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology'' 23 (2): 477-482.〕 Its duck-like snout coincidentally makes it resemble a crocoduck, an imagined hybrid animal with the head of a duck and the body of a crocodile.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://press.nationalgeographic.com/pressroom/index.jsp?pageID=pressReleases_detail&siteID=1&cid=1258641920264 )〕 ==Species and discovery== The type species of ''Anatosuchus'' is ''A. minor'', in reference to its small body size. The holotype material (MNN GDF603), is a nearly complete skull with articulated lower jaws. It was discovered from the upper portion of the Elrhaz Formation and lower portion of Echkar Formation, indicating an Early Cretaceous (Late Aptian or Early Albian) age.〔
