1

Lewisuchus had a row of bony plates called osteoderms along its back, which may have helped protect it.1

2

Its full scientific name is Lewisuchus admixtus, and 'admixtus' means 'mixed', because its skeleton was found mixed with bones of other animals.1

3

Scientists once called it Pseudolagosuchus, but later realized those fossils came from the same type of animal.13

4

The first skeleton was discovered inside a hard rock nodule in Argentina during a 1964 to 1965 expedition.1

5

Lewisuchus lived during the Late Triassic Period, when the first dinosaurs were just appearing.13

6

It was about 1 meter (3.3 feet) long, about the size of a large dog.1

?Where was Lewisuchus found?

In the Chañares Formation of Argentina.1

?Did Lewisuchus have teeth?

Yes, it had small, serrated teeth in its upper and lower jaws.12

?How did Lewisuchus get its name?

It means 'Lewis's crocodile'. The name honors Arnold Lewis, who discovered the skeleton, and references the Egyptian crocodile god Sobek.1

Alfred Romer named Lewisuchus in 1972, based on a partial skeleton found in the Chañares Formation of Argentina. The holotype specimen is stored at the Museo de La Plata and later moved to the National University of La Rioja.13

Scientists still debate whether Lewisuchus should be classified as a true dinosaur or as a close dinosaur relative.1
