Atoposauridae is a family of crocodile-line archosaurs belonging to Neosuchia.[1] The majority of the family are known from Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous marine deposits in France , Portugal, and Bavaria in southern Germany .[2][3][4] The discovery of the genus Aprosuchus, however, extends the duration of the lineage to the end of the Cretaceous in Romania.[5]
