Glaphyrorhynchus is an extinct genus of teleosaurid thalattosuchian from the Middle Jurassic (Aalenian) of southern Germany.
Taxonomy and provenance
Glaphyrorhynchus is known only from a jaw fragment found in the late Aalenian of Aalen, Germany.[1] The holotype is lost, so the validity of the taxon remains unclear.[2]
