Sebecia (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sebecia is an extinct clade of mesoeucrocodylian crocodyliforms that includes peirosaurids and sebecids. It was first constructed in 2007 to include Hamadasuchus, Peirosauridae, and Sebecus. It was initially considered to be the sister taxon of the clade Neosuchia, which includes living crocodilians, although some later studies have placed it within Neosuchia as a basal clade. Sebecians were terrestrial crocodyliforms characterized by their deep snouts and ziphodont dentitions. They first appeared in the Late Cretaceous, survived the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, and went extinct in the Miocene epoch.
