Baryphracta is an extinct genus of diplocynodontinecrocodilian. It is closely related to the genera Diplocynodon and Tadzhikosuchus.[1] Fossils have been found from the Messel Pit near Messel, Germany, which was deposited during the Middle Eocene epoch of the Paleogene period. It was not the only crocodilian found from the pit; others include the closely related Diplocynodon as well as crocodylids such as Asiatosuchus and Allognathosuchus.[2] In 1999, the genus was proposed to be synonymous with Diplocynodon,[3] and a subsequent study showed that Baryphracta deponiae is nested within Diplocynodon, which validates this proposed synonymy[4]
