Abstract
An incomplete indeterminate crocodilian angular from the Miocene Bannockburn Formation, Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand is described. The fossil (probably a new taxon) represents the first undoubted occurrence of a crocodilian in New Zealand. Local palaeoclimatic indicators suggest the crocodilian lived in a temperate climate.
