Anthracosuchus (meaning "coal crocodile" in Greek) is an extinct genus of dyrosaurid crocodyliform from the Paleocene of Colombia. Remains of Anthracosuchus balrogus, the only known species, come from the Cerrejón Formation in the Cerrejón mine, and include four fossil specimens with partial skulls. Anthracosuchus differs from other dyrosaurids in having an extremely short (brevirostrine) snout, widely spaced eye sockets with bony protuberances around them, and osteoderms that are smooth and thick. It is one of the most basal dyrosaurids along with Chenanisuchus and Cerrejonisuchus.

  • Anthracosuchus es un género extinto de crocodiliforme dirosáurido que vivió durante el Paleoceno de Colombia. Los restos de Anthracosuchus balrogus, la única especie conocida, provienen de la Formación Cerrejón e incluyen cuatro especímenes fósiles con cráneos parciales. Anthracosuchus difiere de otros dirosáuridos por tener un hocico muy corto (brevirrostrino), cuencas oculares muy espaciadas con protuberancias óseas alrededor de estas, y escudos óseos (osteodermos) que son gruesos y sin relieve. Es uno de los dirosáuridos más basales conocidos junto con Chenanisuchus y Cerrejonisuchus.​ (es)
