Marasuchus is a genus of dinosaur-like ornithodiran from the middle Triassic Period of Argentina. The species Marasuchus illoensis was originally described as a second species of Lagosuchus, L. lilloensis. However, in a restudy of Lagosuchus by Sereno and Arcucci (1994), the authors concluded that the original (type) specimen was too poorly preserved to allow any further specimens to be assigned to the genus. They also noted that the L. illoensis specimen had limb proportions different from the type species. On this basis, they assigned L. illoensis to a new genus, Marasuchus.
The Middle Triassic (also known as Muschelkalk) is the second of three epochs of the Triassic period. It spans the time between 245 ± 1.5 Ma and 228 ± 2 Ma (million years ago). The Middle Triassic is divided into the Anisian and Ladinian faunal stages.
