The Rauisuchidae page lists Postosuchus as one of the genuses belonging to that family, but here it says it belongs to the Poposauridae. Which is right? Jerkov 11:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
The groups Poposauridae and Rauisuchidae have been confused since Chatterjee's 1985 paper on Postosuchus, which he names a poposaurid. However, his discription is based on 3 separate taxa, 2 of which, were poposaurids. Thus Postosuchus is not a poposaurid, but what would be considered traditionally, a rauisuchid. —Preceding

I remember in Walking with Dinos the Narrorator guy says Postosuchus was the largest carnivore on earth. Give the "You-are-there" feeling of the program I assume he ment the Largest Carnivore of the Triassic. Is this true? Was Postosuchus the largest carnivore of the triassic? In North America yes but there were larger carnivores than Postosuchus
Is Postosuchus a dinosaur? 96.229.179.106 ( talk) 06:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

"Postosuchus was one of the largest carnivorous reptiles during the late Triassic, reaching up to 4 meters (13 ft) in length and 2 meters (6.5 ft) in height"
That line doesn't make much sense, regarding height, this is a reptile, meaning the tail is close to half the total lenght and at 4-5m it certainly won't be 2m tall at anywhere, the source is incomplete though I could find it (Postosuchus, a new thecodontian reptile from the Triassic of Texas and the origin of tyrannosaurs) but I can't access it to verify such claim.

The skulls we have images of either show a concave or convex upper profile. Is this due to updates to reconstructions, or differences between species? FunkMonk ( talk) 15:18, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
