Abstract
A jaw fragment from the Lower Miocene of south Germany, formerly described as a mandible of the alligatorid Diplocynodon plenidens, is reinterpreted a s the rostral part of a skull of a longirostrine tomistomid. It is similar to Gavialosuchus gaudensis, a widespread species in the Miocene of Europe.
