Uberabasuchus ("Uberaba crocodile")[1] is an extinctgenus of crocodylomorph from the Late CretaceousMarília Formation of Brazil. It was about 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) long and appears to have a high skull like that of the sebecosuchians, but differs from them in having teeth with circular cross-section. Thus, rather than slicing flesh and blood vessels, it is likely to have inflicted powerful crushing bites (same is likely for Lomasuchus and Peirosaurus). The post-crania and the geology suggesting an arid climate indicate that Uberabasuchus was likely a terrestrial predator.[2]
