Parahelicoprion is a shark-like eugeneodontid holocephalid. It was around 12 m (40 ft) in length or more. Their closest living relatives are ratfish.
Fossils have been found in Asia (Ural Mountains, Russia) and South America (Bolivia).

Rhamphosuchus was previously thought to be the biggest crocodile, estimated at a length of 15 - 18 m (49 to 59 ft). However, a more recent study suggests that the animal may have been 8 - 11 m (26 - 36 ft) in length, and therefore is not the largest known crocodylian. Nonetheless, it is among the largest crocodylians.
Fossils have been found in Asia (Siwalik Hills, India).
