Enalioetes is a genus of Early Cretaceous metriorhynchid thalattosuchian from the Stadthagen Formation of Germany. Prior to its description in 2024, it was known under the informal names Enaliosuchus schroederi and Cricosaurus schroederi. The genus is among the most recent metriorhynchids known and one of the best preserved Cretaceous members of its group, preserving much of the skull as well as parts of the neck. [1]
