Atlantosuchus is an extinct genus of dyrosaurid crocodylomorphCarroll, R.L. 1988. Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution. WH Freeman and Company, New York from Morocco. One defining characteristic that distinguishes it from other long-snouted dyrosaurids was its proportionally elongate snout, the longest in proportion to body size of any dyrosaurid. Rhabdognathus, a hyposaurine dyrosaurid, is believed to have been the closest relative of the genus.Jouve, S., B. Bouya, and M. Amaghzaz (2008).
