 The following cladogram is simplified, after an analysis presented by Julia B. Desojo, Martin D. Ezcurra and Edio E. Kischlat (2012).Bones and armor pieces of "Desmatosuchus" are abundant in the Dockum formation, Chinle formation, and Post quarry, indicating that they were widespread and abundant during the Late Triassic.It is possible that "Desmatosuchus" traveled in herds or family units.
