scientific name

Coburgosuchus goeckeli Heller, 1954
status

 

Coburgosuchus goeckeli Heller, 1954

Holotype.

NMC 10282 , posterior region of cranium and associated teeth ( Heller 1954).

Type locality.

Untersiemau near Coburg, Bavaria.

Type horizon.

Lower portion of Upper Burgsandstein (equivalent to upper part of Löwenstein Formation), Middle Keuper Subgroup. Age: Late Triassic (Norian: Alaunian).

Diagnosis.

Currently not possible because NMC 10282 requires re-examination.

Comments.

In its cranial features Coburgosuchus goeckeli closely resembles Nicrosaurus kapffi . Thus, many authors have synonymized these two taxa, but, more recently, Spielmann and Lucas (2012) and Jones and Butler (2018) have retained their separation.
