Bottosaurus is an extinct genus of crocodile. Specimens have been found from New Jersey, North and South Carolina, and Colorado. It had distinctively thick osteoderms that lacked the pitting of most other crocodylians. The unusual blunt, conical tribodontid crushing teeth are the most common diagnostic material to fossilize and be recovered, although teeth from the posterior portion of the jaw tend to be more laterally compressed like those of other related crocodiles.
