A new peirosarid crocodyliform is described from the Kem Kem Group. Antaeusuchus taouzensis This review, indicates the existence of at least three approximately contemporaneous peirosaurid lineages within the Kem Kem Group, alongside other notosuchians, and support the peirosaurid affinities of the ‘trematochampsid’ Miadanasuchus oblita from the Maastrichtian of Madagascar. Identification of crocodyliform teeth from this region has been complicated with this publication. The paper does do a comparison with Hamadasuchus rebouli . https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.211254 Jaw comparisons with Hamadasuchus rebouli Comparison of peirosaurid mandibles from the Kem Kem Group in lateral view: (a) NHMUK PV 36829 (Antaeusuchus taouzensis n. gen. n. sp. holotype); (b) NHMUK PV R36874 (Antaeusuchus taouzensis paratype); (c) MDEC001 (Hamadasuchus rebouli holotype); (d) ROM 49282; (e) BSPG 2005 I 83.
