🦴 Known fossil material
Indosuchus is known from only part of its skeleton. This diagram shows which parts of the body have been found.
Parts found as fossils
- Skull
Known from three partial skulls: the skull roof (frontal and parietal bones) and parts of the back of the skull. The main type specimen has since been lost.
Coloured areas are parts of the skeleton with fossil bones found so far (sometimes just one bone in that area); faint areas have not been found. The outline is a general shape for its group, not this dinosaur's real body.

Indosuchus
There is no write-up for this dinosaur yet, but the scientific data below is complete.
Who lived alongside it
Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Indosuchus (Lameta), so they lived in the same region at roughly the same time.
Laevisuchus
Indosaurus
Jainosaurus
Lametasaurus
Rahiolisaurus
Rajasaurus
Isisaurus
Antarctosaurus
Formation data from the Paleobiology Database, counting only each genus's main formations. One formation can span hundreds of thousands to millions of years, so this doesn't mean any two of them ever met.
