The story in short
Walgettosuchus was formally named in 1932 by F. V. Huene.
Fossils referred to Walgettosuchus date to the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian), roughly 100.5 to 93.9 million years ago. Finds come from Australia, including the Griman Creek Formation. It was a carnivore and walked on two legs.
The fossils of Walgettosuchus are too incomplete for a responsible length, hip height, or weight, so those fields are left blank on purpose.
On the family tree it sits in Theropoda, among the theropod dinosaurs.
