Sunosuchus junggarensis sp.nov. (Archosauria: Crocodyliformes) from the Upper Jurassic of Xinjiang, People's Republic of China

Abstract: A new species of Crocodyliformes, Sunosuchus junggarensis, is established on the basis of six individuals from the Upper Jurassic of the Junggar Basin, Xinjiang, northwest China. It differs from other species of Sunosuchus primarily in having a dorsoventrally depressed supraoccipital that, in occipital view, lacks a median crest; a frontal that is ridged anteriorly; a distinct depression distal to the foramen aereum on the dorsal surface of the quadrate; and an elongate, undivided maxillary depression. Cranial… Show more

“…Paravertebral, ventral, appendicular and nuchal dorsolateral osteoderms have been identified. The dermal armour is very similar to that of goniopholidids such as Goniopholis simus from the Berriasian of England and Germany, Anteophthalmosuchus hooleyi from the Valanginian of England, the unnamed Dollo's goniopholidid from the Barremian-Aptian of Belgium, Goniopholis baryglyphaeus from the Kimmeridgian of Portugal, and Sunosuchus junggarensis from the Late Jurassic of China (Wu et al, 1996;Salisbury and Frey, 2001;Schwarz, 2002;Salisbury and Naish, 2011).…”

“…In a few ventral osteoderms, smooth overlapping facets are observed along one margin of their outer surfaces (Fig. 5J-K); these osteoderms are from the region between the neck and trunk in other goniopholidids such as Sunosuchus (Wu et al, 1996).…”

“…14). Wu et al (1996aWu et al ( , 2001a, however, noted that a smooth depressed lobe of the squamosal may have a wider distribution and that it is ontogenetically variable in Sunosuchus junggarensis. Interestingly, Rugosuchus nonganensis has a morphology similar to Shamosuchus djadochtaensis, having the posterolateral region slightly sculpted, depressed, and separated by a weak ridge .…”
