Carnufex
''Carnufex'' (meaning "butcher") is an extinct genus of crocodylomorph suchian from the Late Triassic of North America. The genus was first described in 2015 by Zanno ''et al.'', who named the binomial ''Carnufex carolinensis'', meaning "Carolina butcher". Two specimens are known, the holotype skull and skeleton NCSM 21558, and the referred humerus NCSM 21623. The specimens are from the Carnian-age Pekin Formation, which dates to 231 million years ago. ''Carnufex'' would have been about long and tall and walked on its hind legs, although it may have gotten larger.
==History of discovery==
NCSM 21558 was first discovered in the Pekin Formation of North Carolina, which is from the Carnian age of the Late Triassic, 231 million years ago. The specimen was from the mid-upper region of the formation, and was described in 2015 by Lindsay Zanno ''et al.'' For the specimen and associated NCSM 21623, from the same level of the formation, they named the new binomial ''Carnufex carolinensis''. This name is derived from the Latin word ''carnufex'', for "butcher" and the location of the discovery in North Carolina. The holotype NCSM 21558 includes most regions of the skeleton: a partial skull, vertebrae, ribs, and an upper arm bone (humerus). NCSM 21623 includes only a humerus.〔
