Etymology. Laganon, pancake (Greek); souchos, crocodile (Greek). Named for the shallow depth of its skull.
Type species. Laganosuchus thaumastos.
Diagnosis. Mid-sized (̴ 4–6 m) stomatosuchid with spaced teeth and an undulating, or festooned, alveolar margin; spike-shaped crowns that lack recurvature; crowns flattened buccolingually with sharp unornamented mesial and distal carinae; d1 enlarged (subequal to d4 caniniform); postcaniniform teeth (d5–24) gradually decrease in size; Meckel’s canal developed as a very narrow, sharply delimited groove on the anterior one-half of the dentary.
