Adamanasuchus is an extinct genus of aetosaur that lived during the Late Triassic period around 222-216.5 million years ago. Fossils have been found from several localities from the Chinle Group in Arizona and date back to the late Carnian stage of the Late Triassic. The locality from which it was named after also lends its name to the Adamanian LVF (land vertebrate faunachron).
