Longosuchus (meaning "Long's crocodile") is an extinct genus of aetosaur from the Late Triassic of North America and Morocco. It measured about 3 metres in length. Taxonomy. "Longosuchus" was originally named as a species of "Typothorax", "T. meadei", in 1947 on the basis of skeletal remains from the Otis Chalk quarries in Howard County, western Texas. Hunt and Lucas (1990) recognized "T. meadei" as generically distinct from the type species of "Typothorax" and renamed it "Longosuchus" in honor of Robert Long.
