Suchoprion

Suchoprion is a dubious genus of phytosaurian archosaur known from poor remains from the Late Triassic of North America. It was once thought to be a theropod dinosaur until 2013, when it was reclassified as a phytosaur.^[1]

Edward Drinker Cope named the genus Suchoprion in 1877 on the basis of a single species: S. cyphodon (the type), known only from weathered teeth (AMNH FR 2331A).^[2] The second species, S. sulcidens, was named in 1878. Both species were found in Wheatley's Copper Mines, Emigsville in Pennsylvania.
