Antarctosuchus
''Antarctosuchus'' is an extinct genus of capitosauroid temnospondyl known from the Middle Triassic upper Fremouw Formation in the Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica. It contains a single species, ''Antarctosuchus polyodon''.
==Discovery==
''Antarctosuchus'' was named by Christian A. Sidor, J. Sébastien Steyer and William R. Hammer in 2014 and the type species is ''Antarctosuchus polyodon''. The generic name refers to Antarctica, where the only known specimen was collected, and ''suchus'', a common suffix for temnospondyls Latinized from the Greek ''souchos'', an Egyptian crocodile god. The specific name, ''polyodon'', is derived from the Greek πολύς (''polús'') "much", "many" and ὀδών (''odon''), "tooth", in reference to its unique teeth morphology. ''Antarctosuchus'' is known solely from its holotype, a large and relatively complete skull. It was collected form the upper Fremouw Formation in the central Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica, dating to the Middle Triassic. To date, ''Antarctosuchus polyodon'' is the only other endemic temnospondyl species from the formation apart from ''Kryostega collinsoni'', although indeterminate remains referred to benthosuchids and a cranial fragment assigned to ''Parotosuchus sp.'' have also been collected.〔
