''Arambourgisuchus'' ("(Camille ) Arambourg's crocodile") was a dyrosaurid crocodylomorph from the late Palaeocene of Morocco, found in the region of Sidi Chenane in 2000, following collaboration by French and Moroccan institutions, and described in 2005 by a team led by palaeontologist Stéphane Jouve. Its type and only species is ''A. khouribgaensis'', after the town of Khouribga, near which the holotype was found. ==Material== Four specimens of this taxon have been found: *OCP DEK-GE 300 (holotype): nearly complete and crushed skull, lacking the anterior part of the rostrum *OCP DEK-GE 18: crushed, almost complete skull, including mandible *OCP DEK-GE 269: posterior part of mandibular symphysis with five or six teeth alveoli on each side *OCP DEK-GE 1200: Anteriormost portion of a mandibular symphysis The remains of ''A. khourgbaensis'' were found in a phosphate mine in the region of Sidi Chenane, part of the Ouled Abdoun Basin. The age of this animal is therefore Thanetian (late Palaeocene). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arambourgisuchus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
