Abstract
ABSTRACT An unusual new archosaurian reptile, Euscolosuchus olseni, gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Tomahawk Creek Member of the Turkey Branch Formation of the Richmond basin (Newark Supergroup; Upper Triassic: Carnian) in east-central Virginia. Its distinctive, narrow carapace comprises paired, sharply angulated paramedian osteoderms that bear much enlarged lateral spines and have crocodile-like external ornamentation. Euscolosuchus is referable to the Crurotarsi and closely resembles basal Crocodyliformes in the structure of its dorsal dermal armor.
