Protosuchia is a group of extinct Mesozoic crocodyliforms. They were small in size (~1 meter in length) and terrestrial . In phylogenetic terms, Protosuchia is considered an informal group because it is a grade of basal crocodyliforms, not a true clade .
Protosuchus (from Greek: protos, "first" and Greek: souchos, "crocodile") [1] is an extinct genus of carnivorous crocodyliform from the Early Jurassic.It is among the earliest animals that resemble crocodilians.

Proterosuchus fergusi from the Early Triassic of South Africa. They were slender, medium-sized (about 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) long, largest specimens reached 3.5–4 m (11–13 ft) [2]), long-snouted and superficially crocodile-like animals, although they lacked the armoured scutes of true crocodiles, and their skeletal features are much more primitive.
In their phylogenetic analyses, Wu et al. (2025) recovered Pattisaura as a basal crocodylomorph in a sister taxon relationship with Redondavenator.The researchers noted that these two genera are the geographically closest non-crocodyliform crocodylomorphs in North America, although Redondavenator is from the slightly younger Redonda Formation of New Mexico.
