Leidyosuchus

Crocodilian

Leidyosuchus canadensis is a Campanian crocodilian of Alberta's Dinosaur Park Formation; the name was long applied to all Late Cretaceous crocodile teeth and scutes from the northern Plains, most of which are now Borealosuchus. In trade, 'Leidyosuchus' remains a common old label on Judith River and Lance croc material.
