Yarasuchus
''Yarasuchus'' is an extinct genus of rauisuchian, a group of predatory and large Triassic archosaurs. It lived during the Anisian stage of the Middle Triassic of India.〔Bandyopadhyay, S. and Sengupta, D. P. (1999). Middle Triassic vertebrate faunas from India. ''Journal of African Earth Sciences'' 29: 233–241.〕 Being only 2 metres long, is was one of the smallest rauisuchians known. The genus was named and described in 2005 from incomplete fossil material found from the Middle Triassic Yerrapalli Formation, thought to be from two individuals, with one being much more complete and articulated than the other.〔Sen K. (2005). A new rauisuchian archosaur from the Middle Triassic of India. ''Palaeontology'' 48 (1): 185-196.〕 The type and only species is ''Y. deccanensis''.
==Description==
The cervical vertebrae that make up the neck of ''Yarasuchus'' are characteristically elongated, while the skull is proportionally small. The genus is also distinguished from other prestosuchids by a delicately built pectoral girdle and a continuous acromion process of the scapula. The neural spines of the vertebrae are high and the paramedian osteoderms are greatly sculptured with a ridge running anteroposteriorly along each one.〔
