Mystriosuchus was a phytosaur, a lineage of aquatic reptiles very similar but not closely related to true crocodilians. This species lived in the Late Triassic of Europe and show signs of being much more dedicated to an aquatic lifestyle than most of its relatives. Somewhat speculative details are a caudal fin like the later metriorynchid crocodiles and a soft tissue crest like some pterosaurs.
