Teleosaurus
Teleosaurus (from Greek: τέλειος téleios, 'perfect' and Greek: σαῦρος saûros, 'lizard') is an extinct genus of teleosaurid crocodyliform found in the Middle Jurassic Calcaire de Caen Formation of France. It was approximately 3 metres (10 ft) in length and weighed 60 kg (130 lb). The holotype is MNHN AC 8746, a quarter of a skull and other associated postcranial remains, while other fragmentary specimens are known. The type species is T. cadomensis, but a second species, T. geoffroyi may also exist. It was previously considered a wastebasket taxon, with many other remains assigned to the genus.

Teleosaurus
Teleosaurus was an extinct genus of teleosaurid crocodyliform that lived during the Middle Jurassic. It was approximately 3 metres in length. Teleosaurus had highly elongate jaws, similar to those of a modern gharial. It had a long, slender, body, with a sinuous tail that would have helped propel it through the water. Its forelimbs were remarkably short, and would probably have been held close to the body when swimming to improve the animal's streamlining. Unlike modern crocodilians, it lived in the open ocean, and it probably caught fish and squid with its sharp, needle-like teeth.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Teleosaurus
tē-lē-ō-sawr′us, n. a genus of fossil saurians belonging to the Oolitic period.—adj. and n. Teleosau′rian. [Gr. teleios, perfect, sauros, a lizard.]
