Suchonosaurus is an extinct genus of procolophonid reptile from the Late Permian of Russia. It is monotypic, including the species Suchonosaurus minimus, which is itself known only from a single fragment of the upper jaw. [1] Suchonosaurus is currently considered the oldest member of the family Procolophonidae, as it is the only procolophonid known from the Permian period. [2]
