Vonhuenia (named after Friedrich von Huene) is an extinct genus of basal archosauriform from the Early Triassic of Russia. Fossils have been found in the , along the Vetluga River that are Induan in age, making Vonhuenia one of the earliest archosauriforms.^[1]

Classification[]

The type species V. friedrichi, named in 1992, is based on material that was misassigned to the genus Chasmatosuchus by Ochev (1978).^[2] Although originally classified as a proterosuchid, a 2016 cladistic analysis recovered it as a non-eucrocopodan archosauriform of uncertain position.^[3]

Paleobiology[]

Vonhuenia was a small archosauriform that lived alongside amphibians like Tupilakosaurus and Luzocephalus, small reptiles like Phaanthosaurus, and the large-bodied dicynodont Lystrosaurus in the earliest Triassic.^[4]
