  • Burkesuchus (meaning "Coleman Burke's crocodile") is an extinct genus of basal neosuchians from the Upper Jurassic (Tithonian)-aged Toqui Formation of southern Chile. The genus is currently represented by a single species B. mallingrandensis, named and described in 2021 on the basis of the holotype and additional referred specimens. Burkesuchus mallingrandensis was noticeably small being around an estimated 70 cm (27.5 inches) in length. The cranium is dorsoventrally depressed and transversely wide posteriorly and distinguished by a posterroventrally flexed wing-like squamosal. Burkesuchus was a small carnivore likely on invertebrates animals such as insects, crustaceans and may had feed on small aquatic vertebrates like fish. B. mallingrandensis did not have the ability to feed on large prey items or tear large chunks of meat like modern day crocodiles do. The holotype SQO.PV 17700, consist of a cervical neural arch, partial neurocranium, four dorsal vertebrae, right scapula, a right coracoid, right humerus, a ulna, left ischium, distal end of the right femur, one cervical and two dorsal osteoderms. The paratype SQO.PV 17701 fossil remains consist of a nearly complete right femur, two doral vertebrae and one dorsal osteoderm. The fossils was discovered in 2014 but was described as a new genus and species on July 23, 2021. (en)
  • Burkesuchus es un género extinto de neosuquios basales de la formación Toqui del Jurásico Superior ( Tithoniano ) del sur de Chile. Actualmente, el género está representado por una sola especie, B. mallingrandensis, nombrada y descrita en 2021 sobre la base del holotipo y especímenes referidos adicionales.​ Burkesuchus mallingrandensis era notablemente pequeño, con una longitud estimada de alrededor de 70 cm (27,5 pulgadas). El cráneo está deprimido dorsoventralmente y transversalmente ancho en la parte posterior y se distingue por un escamosal en forma de ala flexionado posterroventralmente. Burkesuchus era un pequeño carnívoro que probablemente se alimentaba de animales invertebrados como insectos, crustáceos y se alimentaba de pequeños vertebrados acuáticos como los peces. B. mallingrandensis no tenía la capacidad de alimentarse de presas grandes o desgarrar grandes trozos de carne como lo hacen los cocodrilos de hoy en día.​ El holotipo SQO. PV 17700, consta de un arco neural cervical, un neurocráneo parcial, cuatro vértebras dorsales, una escápula derecha, una coracoides derecha, un húmero derecho, un cúbito, un isquion izquierdo, el extremo distal del fémur derecho, un osteodermo cervical y dos dorsales. Los restos fósiles del paratipo SQO.PV 17701 consisten en un fémur derecho casi completo, dos vértebras dorsales y un osteodermo dorsal.​ Los fósiles se descubrieron en 2014, pero se describieron como un nuevo género y especie el 23 de julio de 2021.​ (es)
