Maomingosuchus is an extinct genus of gavialoid crocodilian from Late Eocene (Priabonian)-aged deposits of China and possibly also Thailand.^[2] The type species, "Tomistoma petrolica" was named in 1958^[3] and was redescribed as Maomingosuchus in 2017.^[4] It is proposed to be a basal member of Gavialoidea.^[1]
