Goniopholididae Cope 1875

Among crocodyliform groups, spinosaurid tooth crowns are most often considered similar to those of the Goniopholididae (Torcida et al. 1997; Fowler 2007; Canudo et al. 2008). Goniopholidid neosuchians originated in the Lower Jurassic and became extinct near the end of the Upper Cretaceous (Halliday et al. 2015; Ristevski et al. 2018). They were semiaquatic and inhabited continental freshwater and coastal environments ( Buscalioni et al. 2013). Their dentition consists of conical tooth crowns with varying degrees of robustness and lingual curvature, and striated/fluted enamel surfaces. However, their teeth, as those of spinosaurids, are invariably bicarinate ( Andrade et al. 2011; Puértolas-Pascual et al. 2015; Martin et al. 2016; Ristevski et al. 2018). Additionally, the distribution of these neosuchians was restricted to Laurasia ( Allen 2012; Halliday et al. 2015; PuÉrtolas-Pascual et al. 2015; Martin et al. 2016; Ristevski et al. 2018), therefore we consider it safe to conclude that SGO.PV.1160 does not belong to a goniopholidid either.
