Mystriosaurus is an extinct genus of teleosaurid crocodyliform from the Early Jurassic ( Toarcian). Fossil specimens have been found in the Whitby Mudstone of England and Posidonia Shale of Germany. The only known species, M. laurillardi, exceeded 4 metres (13 ft) in length. [1]
A 2019 phylogenetic analysis found Mystriosaurus to be distinct from Steneosaurus. [2]
