Isisfordia

Isisfordia is an extinct genus of crocodyliform closely related to crocodilians that lived in Australia during the Middle Cretaceous (Albian–Cenomanian). 
Description.
The type species, "I. duncani". (named after the discoverer; former Deputy Mayor of Isisford, Ian Duncan) was discovered in the Winton Formation in Isisford, Queensland, Australia in the mid-1990s. Most of the animal was discovered, with the exception of the front portion of the skull. On a later expedition to the location, paleontologists discovered a complete skull which differed from the original specimen in size only. A second species "I. molnari" was named in 2019 from a braincase found in the Griman Creek Formation near Lightning Ridge, and the nominal species "Crocodylus (Bottosaurus) selaslophensis" Etheridge, 1917, based on a maxillary fragment from the same unit, was referred to "I. molnari". Later, however, Hart (2020) noted that the "selaslophensis" holotype doesn't overlap with that of AM F125553, so he retained Etheridge's species as a distinct species, "I. selaslophensis", even though he raised the possibility that "molnari" could be synonymous with "selaslophensis".
The estimated body length of "Isisfordia" is .
Relation to modern day crocodilians.
The discovery of the fossilized remains led paleontologists to suggest that the group including modern crocodilians first evolved 30 million years earlier than previously thought, during the Cretaceous period on the supercontinent Gondwana. Analysis of the remains concluded that the vertebrae fit together as they do in modern crocodilians, via loose ball-and-socket joints, as well as a secondary palate similar to that in living crocodilians which allows them to let air pass into the lungs without entering the inside of the mouth.
A cladistic analysis by Turner and Pritchard (2015) recovers "Isisfordia" with "Susisuchus" in a monophyletic Susisuchidae as a non-eusuchian neosuchian more derived than Dyrosauridae, but more primitive than Goniopholididae.
