Dyrosaurus is a genus of extinct crocodylomorph that lived during the early Eocene.[1] The name Dyrosaurus comes from sauros (σαῦρος) the Greek for lizard or reptile, and Dyr for Djebel Dyr (mountain) close to where the type species was discovered.[2] It was a large reptile with an estimated body length of 6.5 metres (21 ft).[3]
