Info

Genus

Gracilisuchus is a thecodontian (that is, an archosaur that is neither a dinosaur nor a pterosaur). It was considered a dinosaur when it was included in Ornithosuchia, back in the early 1970s. This small animal didn\\\'t look very much like a modern crocodil, so until the eighty\\\'s it was considered a Ornithosuchia.
