I say Chindesaurus should be in it, as well as Vancleavea and Koskinonodon, and Desmatosuchus too. Definitely Redondasaurus. These are all from the Petrified Forest btw, other species are known from places such as Blue Mesa. |

Speaking of Redondasaurus, there is another giant Phytosaur which I have heard of that may also be from the same region; Smilosuchus. Both were roughly the same size, and I think the only thing that sets them apart is that Smilosuchus has a larger crest, though I'm not sure. |

Smilosuchus, IIRC, has been sunk into Leptosuchus, but nonetheless still around 40ft. |

Guh, I went to edit the post and deleted it .-. Well anyway, if we're centering it in the Petrified Forest, I'll just make up an available genus list:
Now we definetely can't focus on all of these, so we need to decide a main subject. As suggested earlier, I'd go with Chindesaurus, steering away from the more famous Coelophysis. |

I like the Chindesaurus idea better as well; I'd like to add that Chatterjeea has been lumped into Shuvosaurus last that I knew. |

Effigia is from Ghost Ranch while Placerias is from Blue Mesa and Mesa Redondo. |

Well, Shuvosaurus belongs to the same fsmily as Effigia, they are both very closely related. |
