The enigmatic archosaurs mandasuchus and teleocrater from the middle triassic of tanzania
"Teleocrater" is a nomen ex dissertationae given to an archosaur (or archosauromorph) originally thought to be a dinosaur. The name "Teleocrater" was coined by English paleontologist Alan Charig in his 1956 doctoral dissertation, but has never been formally published.
A 2008 bone histology study of early archosauriforms tentatively identified "Teleocrater" as an archosauriform closely related to Eucrocopoda.
"Teleocrater" is apparently conspecific with an unnamed avemetatarsalian closely related to the problematic archosauriforms Dongusuchus and Yarasuchus.
