Pristichampsus (from Greek: πρῐ́στῐςprístis, 'saw' and Greek: χαμψαιchampsai, 'crocodile') is a non-diagnostic and potentially dubious extinct genus of crocodylian from France and possibly also Kazakhstan that is part of the monotypic Pristichampsidae family. As the type species, Pristichampsus rollinatii, was based on insufficient material when described in 1831 and 1853,[1][2] the taxonomic status of the genus is in doubt, and other species have been referred to other genera, primarily Boverisuchus.[3]
