稜角鱗鱷屬

(重定向自稜角鱗鱷

稜角鱗鱷屬(屬名:Goniopholis)又名角鱗鱷,是種已滅絕鱷類,生存於侏儸紀晚期到白堊紀早期的北美洲歐洲、以及亞洲。稜角鱗鱷是半水生動物,非常類似現代鱷魚。稜角鱗鱷的身長為2到4公尺之間,生活方式可能非常類似美洲短吻鱷尼羅鱷。 稜角鱗鱷與已滅絕的鱷類祖先的親緣關係非常接近。

目前已有許多種的稜角鱗鱷被敘述。G. crassidens生存於白堊紀巴列姆階英格蘭G. simus生存於白堊紀早期的德國西北部。G. gilmoreiG. stovalli生存於侏儸紀晚期的北美洲G. baryglyphaeus則是最古老的稜角鱗鱷,生存於侏儸紀啟莫里階葡萄牙G. phuwiangensis則生存於晚侏儸紀泰國東北部。G. lucasii生存於侏儸紀提通階科羅拉多州,但可能屬於Amphicotylus。生存於白堊紀早期英格蘭Nannosuchus gracilidens可能是個稜角鱗鱷的幼年個體。

2011年命名的G. kiplingi,種名是以英國詩人魯德亞德·吉卜林為名,他的作品衝滿對自然環境的熱愛[1]
