"Crocodylus" acer is an extinct species of crocodyloid from the Eocene of Utah. A single well preserved skull was described by paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in 1882 and remains the only known fossil of the species. It was found from the Wasatchian-age Green River Formation. "C." acer had a long, narrow snout and a low, flattened skull. The below cladogram shows the results of the latest studies, which placed "C." acer outside of Crocodyloidea, as more basal than Longirostres (the combined group of crocodiles and gavialids).

  • "Crocodylus" acer is an extinct species of crocodyloid from the Eocene of Utah. A single well preserved skull was described by paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in 1882 and remains the only known fossil of the species. It was found from the Wasatchian-age Green River Formation. "C." acer had a long, narrow snout and a low, flattened skull. Some postcranial bones have been attributed to "C." acer but they have more recently been suggested to belong to the related species "C." affinis. Although they were first placed in the genus Crocodylus, "C." acer and "C." affinis are not crocodiles. Recent studies place them as early members of Crocodyloidea, only distantly related to Crocodylus. Although it represents a distinct genus, a generic name has not yet been proposed for "C." acer. A 2018 tip dating study by Lee & Yates simultaneously using morphological, molecular (DNA sequencing), and stratigraphic (fossil age) data established the inter-relationships within Crocodilia, which was expanded upon in 2021 by Hekkala et al. using paleogenomics by extracting DNA from the extinct Voay. The below cladogram shows the results of the latest studies, which placed "C." acer outside of Crocodyloidea, as more basal than Longirostres (the combined group of crocodiles and gavialids). (en)

Fue hallado en la formación Green River de edad del . "C." acer tenía un largo y estrecho hocico en un cráneo bajo y aplanado.​ Algunos huesos poscraneales han sido atribuidos a "C." acer pero más recientemente se ha sugerido que pertenecen a la especie relacionada "C." affinis.​ Aunque ambas especies inicialmente fueron situadas en el género actual Crocodylus, "C." acer y "C." affinis no son verdaderos cocodrilos. Recientes investigaciones los colocan como miembros tempranos de la superfamilia Crocodyloidea, distantemente relacionados con Crocodylus. Aunque representan un género distinto, un nuevo nombre genérico aún no se ha propuesto para "C." acer. Un estudio de de 2018 publicado por Lee y Yates usando simultáneamente datos morfológicos, moleculares (secuenciación de ADN) y estratigráficos (edad fósiles) estableció las relaciones dentro de Crocodilia,​ el cual fue expandido en 2021 por Hekkala et al. usando paleogenética al extraer ADN del género extinto Voay.​ El cladograma mostrado a continuación muestra los resultados de los últimos estudios, los cuales sitúan a "C." acer por fuera de Crocodyloidea, como un taxón más basal que Longirostres (el grupo combinado de los cocodrilos y gaviálidos).​ (es)
