Meyerosuchus is an extinct
temnospondyl. Fossils have been found from the Early Triassic Hardegsen Formation in southern Germany. Meyerosuchus is present in late Olenekian deposits of the Middle Buntsandstein.[1] The type species M. fuerstenberganus was named in 1966, although remains have been known since 1855.[2] Meyerosuchus is closely related to Stenotosaurus; both genera are grouped in the family Stenotosauridae and the two genera may even be synonymous.[3]
