Procerosuchus is an extinct genus of loricatan archosaur. Fossils have been collected from the Late Triassic Santa Maria Formation in Geopark of Paleorrota, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, which is Carnian in age.[1] The genus was first described by the German paleontologist Friedrich von Huene in 1942.[2]
