Giant Amphibian Discovery in the Triassic Era Begins to be Unearthed in Brazil

The newly identified temnospondyl species explored our planet during the Early Triassic period, around 249 million years ago. Named Kwatisuchus rosai, this ancient creature had a length of approximately 1.5 m (4.9 feet).

They belong to the Benthosuchidae family, giant-sized small amphibians resembling crocodiles, active in the Triassic period. These creatures primarily live in water, inhabiting rivers and lakes. They can reach a length of 2.5 m (8.2 feet) and do not have any living direct relatives.

"Kwatisuchus rosai can confidently be placed within Benthosuchidae, a stereospondyl clade with a distribution previously limited to the Eastern European Platform."

The fossil skull of Kwatisuchus rosai was found in August 2022 in the Sanga do Cabral Formation, a sedimentary rock formation discovered in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Phylogenetic analysis confirms the relationship of the new genus to the lineage of trematosaurians, which is closely related to the genus Benthosuchus.

"This is the most diverse group of primitive tetrapods recorded on every continent on Earth," "Temnospondyls survived the largest mass extinction of all time." "They have an extensive record throughout the geological period and have experienced several waves of radiation during their millions of years of existence."
According to Dr. Estevan Eltink, a paleontology expert at the Federal University of São Francisco Valley.
