Fasolasuchus

Common card · No. 316560

Fasolasuchus is an extinct genus of loricatan. Fossils have been found in the Los Colorados Formation of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin in northwestern Argentina that date back to the Norian stage of the Late Triassic, making it one of the last rauisuchians (an informal grouping of large pseudosuchians) to have existed before rauisuchians became extinct at the end of the Triassic. Fasolasuchus exceeds the size of other large "rauisuchians" and very large sebecids like Barinasuchus, making it the largest non-dinosaurian terrestrial predator known. It is known from two individuals of different sizes, found very close to each other, these represent partial cranial and postcranial remains.
