Sebecus
''Sebecus'' (meaning "Sebek" in Latin) is an extinct genus of sebecid crocodylomorph from the Eocene of South America. Fossils have been found in Patagonia. Like other sebecosuchians, it was entirely terrestrial and carnivorous. The genus is currently represented by a single species, the type ''S. icaeorhinus''. Several other species have been referred to ''Sebecus'', but were later reclassified as their own genera.
==Etymology==
The name ''Sebecus'' is a Latinisation of Sebek (also called Sobek), the crocodile god of ancient Egypt. Sebek was considered an alternative to the Greek χάμψαι, or "champsa" in crocodilian nomenclature (the Greek historian Herodotus claimed that champsa was the Egyptian word for crocodile).
The specific name ''icaeorhinus'' of the type species is derived from the Greek words εικαίοs and ρύγχος. Εικαίοs means "random" or "not according to plan" and ρύγχος means "snout", in reference to the animal's unusually deep snout.〔
