Calmasuchus is a genus of capitosaurian temnospondyl which lived during the middle Triassic (lower-middle Anisian age). Fossils of Calmasuchus have been recovered from the La Mora site of the Catalan basin in Barcelona of Spain.[1] Identified from a partial skull roof and palate (holotype IPS-37401 (LM-83)), skull fragments (IPS-37401 (LM-63, LM-101, L and M1)) and complete hemi-mandible (IPS-12 42407 (LM-4)), it was named by Josep Fortuny, Àngel Galobart and Carles De Santisteban in 2011. The type species is Calmasuchus acri.[1]
