Paleorhinus was a genus of small phytosaur, a large order of semi-aquatic, crocodile-like animals that lived in the Late Triassic, specifically the earlier Late Carnian period. The reptiles lived throughout Europe, North America, and North Africa. This genus usually also includes the more appropriately named Parasuchus, which lived in India.
