Nundasuchus

''Nundasuchus'' is an extinct genus of archosaur, possibly suchian, known from the Middle Triassic Manda beds of southwestern Tanzania. It contains a single species, ''Nundasuchus songeaensis'', known from a single partially complete skeleton and skull.
''Nundasuchus'' lived in what is now Tanzania, Africa around 240 million years ago and was a carnivore and apex predator, feeding on prey such as early reptiles and synapsids. Incapable of particularly fast movement, it was most likely an ambush predator targeting weak or juvenile animals in a group at close range. It was around 2.7/3 meters (9 feet) long and has been described as having steak knife-like teeth and bony plates on its back.〔http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/science-nundasuchus-songeaensis-new-triassic-reptile-tanzania-02419.html〕 Its legs were situated underneath its body. This trait is more reminiscent of later therapod dinosaurs than it is of ''Nundasuchus's'' crocodilian and reptilian cousins, suggesting a connection between crocodilian reptiles and more developed therapod dinosaurs from the later Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous eras.
==Discovery==
''Nundasuchus'' is known solely from the holotype NMT RB48, a partially complete disassociated and mostly disarticulated individual housed at the National Museum of Tanzania, Dar es Salaam of Tanzania. The holotype consists of a partial right pterygoid, nearly complete right dentary, the right splenial, the right surangular, and isolated teeth, as well as the following postcranial bones: a partial atlas, two articulated mid-neck vertebrae, two articulated mid-back vertebrae, the last back vertebrae, the sacrum with sacral ribs, front-most tail vertebrae, dorsal ribs, gastralia, articulated and isolated paramedian osteoderms, partial shoulder girdle including interclavicle, parts of both clavicles, complete left and right scapulae, and the right coracoid, the left humerus, both pubes, both femora, the left fibula, inner and outer ends of the left tibia, as well as the left astragalus, left calcaneum, left fourth tarsal and all but fourth metatarsals, and outer ends of right third-to-fifth metatarsals, numerous isolated phalanges, a partial ungual and many other fragments.〔
NMT RB48 was discovered by Dr. Sterling Nesbitt in 2007 at an isolated outcrop approximately 100 square meters in area known as locality Z41, along with remains of other archosaurs and rhynchosaurs. Another locality (Z42) occurs in the immediate vicinity, and yielded four cynodonts including two unnamed forms, ''Scalenodon attridgei'' and ''Mandagomphodon hirschsoni'', four dicynodonts including ''Tetragonias njalilus'', ''Sangusaurus parringtonii'', ''Angonisaurus cruickshanki'', and ''Rechnisaurus cristarhynchus'', and the archosauromorphs ''Stenaulorhynchus stockleyi'' and ''Asilisaurus kongwe''. These localities, located between the Ndatira and Njalila rivers, belong to the fluviolacustrine mudstone-sandstone sequence in the middle of the Lifua Member of the Manda beds of Ruhuhu Basin in Tanzania. Based on comparison with the better studied tetrapod fauna of Subzone C of the ''Cynognathus'' Assemblage Zone of South Africa, this member is considered to date to the Anisian stage of the early Middle Triassic.〔
