TomistominaeLes tomistominés (Tomistominae) constituent une sous-famille de crocodiliens dont une seule espèce existe encore aujourd'hui, le faux-gavial de Malaisie du genre Tomistoma.

QuinkanaQuinkana est un genre éteint de la famille des Crocodilidés (sous-famille des Mekosuchinés), des crocodiliens ayant vécu en Australie d'il y a d'années jusqu'à il y a . Durant le Pléistocène, Quinkana faisait partie des superprédateurs d'Australie, doté de longues pattes et de dents de type ziphodonte (comprimées de manière latéromédiale, recourbées et dentelées). Le terme Quinkana vient de « Quinkans », un personnage issu de mythes aborigènes. Les espèces incluses dans le genre Quinkana comprennent l'espèce type Q.
KentisuchusKentisuchus is an extinct genus of gavialoid crocodylian, traditionally regarded as a member of the subfamily Tomistominae. Fossils have been found from England and France that date back to the early Eocene. The genus has also been recorded from Ukraine, but it unclear whether specimens from Ukraine are referable to Kentisuchus. The genus Kentisuchus was erected by Charles Mook in 1955 for the species "Crocodylus" toliapicus, described by Richard Owen, in 1849.
KambaraKambara is an extinct genus of mekosuchine crocodylian that lived during the Eocene epoch in Australia. It is generally thought to have been a semi-aquatic generalist, living a lifestyle similar to many of today's crocodiles. Four species are currently recognized, the sympatric Kambara murgonensis and Kambara implexidens from sediments near Murgon, the poorly preserved Kambara molnari from the Rundle Formation and the youngest of the four, Kambara taraina, also from the Rundle Formation.
TrilophosuchusTrilophosuchus (« crocodile à trois crêtes ») est un genre éteint de crocodiles de la sous-famille des Mekosuchinae. Il a vécu en Australie, où ses fossiles ont été trouvés à Riversleigh, dans le nord-ouest du Queensland, dans des sédiments datés du Miocène moyen (Langhien et Serravallien), soit il y a environ entre et millions d'années. Une seule espèce a été décrite : l'espèce type, Trilophosuchus rackhami par Paul Willis, de l'Université de Sydney, dans le Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology en 1993.
AustralosuchusAustralosuchus is an extinct monospecific genus of crocodylian belonging to the subfamily Mekosuchinae. The type and only known species Australosuchus clarkae lived during the Late Oligocene and the Early Miocene in the Lake Eyre Basin of South Australia. It was described in 1991 by Paul Willis and Ralph Molnar from fossil material discovered at Lake Palankarinna. Australosuchus is among the mekosuchines with the southernmost distribution, being found exclusively at a latitude below 27°S, which is the basis for its scientific name meaning "southern crocodile".
BaruBaru is an extinct genus of Australian mekosuchine crocodilian. It's fossils have been found from various Late Oligocene and Miocene localities from across the Northern Territory and Queensland, indicating that Baru was a common species during the late Paleogene and early Neogene. Two species are currently recognized, B. wickeni and B. darrowi, with a third undescribed species also being known. Baru was a large and powerfull mekosuchine with an incredibly deep and robust skull and long, blade-like teeth that in the case of Baru darrowi are furthermore adorned with minute serrations.
DollosuchoidesDollosuchoides, colloquially known as the Crocodile of Maransart, is an extinct monospecific genus of gavialoid crocodilian, traditionally regarded as a member of the subfamily Tomistominae. Fossils have been found in the Brussel Formation of Maransart, Belgium and date back to the middle Eocene. The holotype, IRScNB 482, was discovered in 1915 and it was prepared during 1926–1927 by M. Hubert, J. Mehschaert and M.
Tomistoma cairenseTomistoma cairense is an extinct species of gavialoid crocodilian from the Lutetian stage of the Eocene era. It lived in North East Africa, especially Egypt. Remains of T. cairense have been found in the Mokattam Formation, in Mokattam, Egypt. Tomistoma cairense did not have a Maxilla process within their lacrimal gland, whereas all extant (living) crocodilians do.
