Siquisiquesuchus

''Siquisiquesuchus'' (meaning "Siquisique crocodile" after the town in Lara, Venezuela, near where the first described specimens were found) is an extinct genus of gavialoid crocodilian. It is known from cranial remains and a few postcranial bones found in Miocene-age rocks in northwestern Venezuela.
==Description==
''Siquisiquesuchus'' is based on MBLUZ–P–5050, a nearly complete skull and lower jaws. It was found near Lara in rocks of the Early Miocene-age Castillo Formation. Two other partial skulls, partial vertebrae, a thigh bone, partial upper arm, and partial shin bone were recovered from another locality. These bones were described by Christopher Brochu and Ascanio Rincón in 2004. The type species is ''S. venezuelensis''.〔
Like other gavialoids, ''Siquisiquesuchus'' had a long, narrow rostrum on its skull, accounting for approximately 60% of the skull's length. The number of teeth in the premaxillary bones at the tip of the snout is not known, but the maxillae making up most of the rostrum had at least 20 teeth each, and the dentaries of the lower jaws had at least 23. Some details of the described skulls cannot be determined because the sutures are not visible.〔
''Siquisiquesuchus'' was found by Brochu and Rincón to be the oldest known gavialoid from South America, sharing various anatomical details with ''Gryposuchus colombianus'' (to which it is particularly similar) and other South American gavialoids.〔 Later studies have concurred with a gavialoid identity, finding the genus to be related to such genera as ''Gavialis'', ''Gryposuchus'', ''Ikanogavialis'', and ''Piscogavialis''.〔〔 Vélez–Juarbe and colleagues (2007) found it to be a gryposuchinae gavialid,〔 while Jouve and colleagues (2008) did not assign families or subfamilies.〔 Brochu and Rincón noted that ''Siquisiquesuchus'' was found in marginal marine deposits. This, along with similarities to Old World gavialoids, was interpreted as evidence that gavialoids "dispersed across a marine barrier to the Neotropics during the Tertiary."〔
