Indosuchus
''Indosuchus'' is a genus of abelisaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period (70 to 66 million years ago – the Maastrichtian), a theropod related to ''Abelisaurus''. Like most theropods, ''Indosuchus'' was a bipedal carnivore. It was possibly six meters (twenty feet) long, and had a crested skull, flattened on the top.
==Naming==
It was named by Friedrich von Huene in 1932〔Huene, F. von, 1932, ''Die fossile Reptil-Ordnung Saurischia, ihre Entwicklung und Geschichte: Monographien zur Geologie und Palaeontologie, 1e Serie, Heft 4'', pp. 1-361〕 and it was described by Huene and Charles Alfred Matley in 1933 from three partial skulls found by Matley in India near Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh in strata of the Lameta Formation.〔F. v. Huene and C. A. Matley, 1933, "The Cretaceous Saurischia and Ornithischia of the Central Provinces of India", ''Palaeontologica Indica (New Series), Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India'' 21(1): 1-74〕 The lectotype is GSI K27/685.〔S. Chatterjee, 1978, "''Indosuchus'' and ''Indosaurus'', Cretaceous carnosaurs from India", ''Journal of Paleontology'' 52(3): 570-580〕
The generic name is derived from ''Indos'', Ancient Greek for the Indus and ''Soukhos'', Ancient Greek for the Egyptian crocodile god. The specific name ''raptorius'' means "raptorial" in Latin.
