Nicrosaurus

Nicrosaurus (/nɪkroʊˈsɔrəs/) is an extinct genus of phytosaur reptile that lived during the Late Triassic period. Although it looked like a crocodile (and probably lived like the more terrestrial crocodylomorphs), it was not closely related to them, instead being an example of parallel evolution.
