摘要：

Lazarussuchus inexpectatus, nov. gen., nov. sp. from the Oligocene, is a new form of Choristodera which extends the longevity of this clade into the Middle Tertiary. It bears a remarkable assemblage of primitive characters. In this respect it is similar to the middle and late Jurassic form, Cteniogenys, than to the more derived highly aquatic forms of the Cretaceous and Paleocene. Some morphological features indicate it is more terrestrial than any other genus in the Choristodera.
