Ornithosuchus
Genus of reptiles
Ornithosuchus (from Greek: ornis, ornithos, "bird" and Greek: souchos, "crocodile") is an extinct genus of pseudosuchians from the Late Triassic (Carnian) Lossiemouth Sandstone of Scotland. It was originally thought to be the ancestor to the carnosaurian dinosaurs (such as Allosaurus), but it is now known to be more closely related to crocodilians than to dinosaurs.
