Thecachampsa is an extinct
genus of
tomistomine crocodylian. Fossils have been found from the eastern
United States in deposits that are late
Oligocene in age. The
type species is
T. antiqua. Several other species have been erected. Those named in the 19th century were distinguished primarily by the shape of their teeth, and have since been combined with
T. antiqua. More recently erected species were reassigned from other tomistomine genera, although their assignment to
Thecachampsa has since been questioned. The
holotype of
T. antiqua is an isolated tooth of little diagnostic value, making the assignment of any other body parts to the genus, including skulls and vertebrae, questionable.
