Balanerodus is an extinct genus of alligatorid crocodylian.

Fossils have been found from the Fitzcarrald Arch in the Peruvian Amazon and date back to the Laventan regional South American age of the middle Miocene (13.8-12 mya).

Crocodilia (or Crocodylia) is an order of large reptiles that appeared about 84 million years ago in the late Cretaceous Period (Campanian stage).

They are the closest living relatives of birds, as the two groups are the only known survivors of the Archosauria.

Members of the crocodilian total group, the clade Crurotarsi, appeared about 220 million years ago in the Triassic Period and exhibited a wide diversity of forms during the Mesozoic Era.
