Ikanogavialis is an extinct genus of gavialid crocodilian. Fossils have been found in the Urumaco Formation in Urumaco, Venezuela and the Solimões Formation of Brazil. The strata from which remains are found are late Miocene in age, rather than Pliocene as was once thought.[2] A possible member of this genus survived into the Late Holocene on Muyua or Woodlark Island in Papua New Guinea.
