In this article we present a new peirosaurid crocodyliform: Kinesuchus overoi gen. et sp. nov. The specimen was recovered from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Santonian, Upper Cretaceous) and is composed of an incomplete mandible consisting of dentaries, splenials, and portion of the left surangular. The specimen shares some features with the peirosaurids Hamadasuchus, Pepesuchus and Itasuchus, including...
Peirosauridae is placed within Notosuchia with members found in Cretaceous deposits of Africa and South America. These crocodyliforms were considered most terrestrial predators, according to their morphological features. Our data bring contributions to infer about peirosaurids habits from the bone histology and to inform the autoecology of the Pepesuchus deiseae (MN 7466-V). We prepared thin sections...
