Description: Bernissartia ('of Bernissart') is an extinct genus of crocodylian that was 60 cm (2 ft) long.
Bernissartia is one of the smallest crocodylians that ever lived. It resembled modern species and was probably semi-aquatic. It had long, pointed teeth at the front of the jaws would have been of use in catching fish, while the broad and flat teeth at the back of its jaws would have facilitated crushing hard food, such as shellfish and possibly bones. It lived during the early Cretaceous in modern day England and Belgium.
