The first rauisuchid remains from South Africa

[Halichoeres]

Despite the Elliot Formation being about the right age to have rauisuchids (terrestrial stem-crocodiles), there haven't been any definite fossils described.

These almost certainly come from new species, but the authors refrain from naming any of it because there isn't enough material to reliably differentiate from known species. Nevertheless, this demonstrates their presence at this southern latitude during the late Triassic.

Here's a dentary (jawbone):
