Stangerochampsa
''Stangerochampsa'' is an extinct genus of globidontan alligatoroid, possibly an alligatorine, from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta. It is based on RTMP.86.61.1, a skull, partial lower jaws, and partial postcranial skeleton discovered in the late Campanian–early Maastrichtian-age Horseshoe Canyon Formation. ''Stangerochampsa'' was described in 1996 by Wu and colleagues. The type species is ''S. mccabei''. The generic name honors the Stanger family, the owners of the ranch where the specimen was found, and the species name honors James Ross McCabe, who discovered, collected, and prepared it. ''Stangerochampsa'' is described as "small to medium–sized"; the type skull is long from the tip of the snout to the occipital condyle, and is wide at its greatest, while the thigh bone is long. It had heterodont dentition, with large crushing teeth at the rear of the jaws.
==Classification==
Wu and colleagues, using phylogenetic analyses, found their new genus to be closest to ''Brachychampsa'', and then ''Albertochampsa'' and ''Hylaeochampsa'' successively, as part of a clade within Alligatorinae that also included ''Allognathosuchus'', ''Ceratosuchus'', and ''Wannaganosuchus''. This arrangement also unites most Mesozoic and Paleogene alligatorines.〔 Brochu (1999), in an analysis of all alligatoroids, found ''Stangerochampsa'' and ''Brachychampsa'' to be just outside of Alligatoridae, and suggested that ''Stangerochampsa'' and ''Albertochampsa'' were synonymous. Brochu (2004) and Hill and Lucas (2006) also found ''Stangerochampsa'' to be outside of Alligatorinae; Hill and Lucas found ''Albertochampsa'' to its sister taxon.〔
