Champsosaurus is
an extinct genus of crocodile-like choristodere reptile, known from the Late Cretaceous and early Paleogene periods of North America
and Europe (Campanian-earliest Eocene). The name Champsosaurus is thought to come from (champsai) (said in an Ancient Greek source to be an Egyptian word for "crocodiles"), and (sauros) (Greek for "lizard"). The morphology of Champsosaurus resembles that of gharials, with a long, elongated snout. It was native to freshwater environments where it likely preyed on fish, similar to living gharials.
