''Laganosuchus'' is an extinct genus of stomatosuchid crocodyliform. Fossils have been found from Niger and Morocco and date back to the Upper Cretaceous. ==Discovery== The name means "pancake crocodile" from the Greek λαγανον, ''laganon'' ("pancake") and σοῦχος, ''souchos'' ("crocodile") in reference to the shallow depth of the skull, which is characteristic of all stomatosuchids. It has been nicknamed "PancakeCroc" by Paul Sereno and Hans Larsson, who first described the genus in a monograph published in ''ZooKeys'' in 2009 along with other Saharan crocodyliformes such as ''Anatosuchus'' and ''Kaprosuchus''. The type species is ''L. thaumastos'' from the Cenomanian-age Echkar Formation in Niger. A second species, ''L. maghrebensis'', is known from the Kem Kem Beds in Morocco, which are also Cenomanian in age.
