Dadagavialis
Dadagavialis is an extinct genus of gavialoid crocodylian that lived during the Early Miocene in what is now Panama. It was described in 2018, and was proposed to be a member of Gryposuchinae.[2] However, other studies have shown Gryposuchinae to be paraphyletic and rather an evolutionary grade towards the living gharial, and thus Dadagavialis might just be classified as a member of Gavialidae.[1]
