Ophiussasuchus
Extinct genus of reptiles
Ophiussasuchus is an extinct genus of goniopholidid neosuchian from the Upper Jurassic Lourinhã Formation of Portugal. It was a medium-sized goniopholidid, about 2.5 m to 3 m long, with a flattened skull and mesorostrine snout. Although most closely related to the Cretaceous goniopholids of Europe, such as Hulkepholis and Anteophthalmosuchus, Ophiussasuchus shares a variety of characteristics with more basal taxa from the Jurassic of Asia and North America. This could suggest that it either represents a transitional form or that this genus independently re-evolved these ancestral features. Ophiussasuchus is a monotypic genus, only including a single species: O. paimogonectes.
