An Entity of Type: Whole100003553, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Harpacochampsa is a poorly known Early Miocene crocodilian from the Bullock Creek lagerstätte of the Northern Territory, Australia. The current specimen consists of a partial skull and fragments of a long, slender snout reminiscent of that of a false gharial, demonstrating that it was a piscivore in life. It was originally tentatively placed within a group of Australian crocodilians now known as the Mekosuchinae, although this has been frequently disputed, with other authors instead suggesting it may have been a more basal crocodyloid or a type of gavialid.

dbo:abstract
  • Harpacochampsa camfieldensis es un género extinto de crocodiliano del Mioceno hallado en el lagerstatte de la del Territorio del Norte. El espécimen consiste de un cráneo parcial y fragmentos de un delgado hocico que recuerda al del falso gavial. Se ha clasificado de manera tentativa dentro de Mekosuchinae,​ aunque algunos expertos no están de acuerdo con esto, dado que H. camfieldensis podrían ser el único mekosuquino conocido con un hocico largo y delgado.​ Su hocico alargado demuestra que en vida era un piscívoro.​ (es)
