Bulgosuchus[1] is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibians, known from an incomplete mandible and a femur recovered from the Bulgo Sandstone at Long Reef in Sydney, Australia. The type species is Bulgosuchus gargantua, which was named in 1999.[2][1]
The type specimen is AM F80190, the posterior glenoid section of a left mandibular ramus, and the mandible is estimated to have been at least one metre long.[1][2][3]
At the time of discovery, Bulgosuchus was described as the largest known temnospondyl from the Early Triassic.[4][5]
