Abstract

A crocodilian jaw fragment from the Jurassicof Thailand is referred to a new species of the genus SunosuchusYoung,, 1948, S. thailandicus.. The genus Sunosuchus,, which is interpreted here as belonging to the family Goniopholididae (Mesosuchia),, was previously known only from the continental Jurassic of north-central China. The occurrence of this freshwater crocodilian in the Khorat Group of Thailand provides evidence that, whatever its previous palaeogeographical history may have been, by Jurassic times South-East Asia was part of Laurasia.
