摘要：

The Upper Cretaceous sites of Lano and Quintanilla del Coco in northern Spain have yielded significant crocodilian remains, allowing a more precise interpretation of the Fragmentary record of southwestern Europe. Two new genera, Musturzabalsuchus and Acynodon, have been recognized. Both taxa were extinct at the end of the Cretaceous. Their relationships with the alligatoroidean Eusuchia suggest a close relationship with Paleolaurasian groups. Musturzabalsuchus might be regarded as an endemic european taxa, the oldest known member of the basal Alligatoroidea. Acynodon is the only non-North American taxon thar is related to the short snouted Upper Cretaceous alligatorids.
