Stratiotosuchus
''Stratiotosuchus'' (from Greek, (stratiōtēs, "soldier") and (suchos, "crocodile")) is an extinct genus of baurusuchid mesoeucrocodylian from the Adamantina Formation in Brazil. It lived during the Late Cretaceous. The first fossils were found in the 1980s, and the type species ''Stratiotosuchus maxhechti'' was named in 2001.〔 A hyperpredator,〔 it and other baurusuchids may have filled niches occupied elsewhere by theropod dinosaurs.
==Description==
''Stratiotosuchus'' has a deep, laterally compressed skull long. It reached up to 4 metres in length, making it about the same size as ''Baurusuchus''. The teeth are ziphodont, meaning that they are laterally compressed, curved, and serrated. Like other baurusuchids, ''Stratiotosuchus'' has a reduced number of teeth: three in its premaxilla and five in its maxilla. When the jaw is closed, the teeth of the upper jaw overlie those of the lower jaw and shear closely together. ''Stratiotosuchus'' has one large caniniform tooth in its premaxilla, and several large maxillary teeth behind it. An enlarged fourth dentary tooth in the lower jaw also forms a canine, and is visible when the jaw is closed.
