==Discovery== thumb|left|Restoration of a Koumpiodontosuchus feeding on the viviparidae|viviparid [[gastropod Viviparus cariniferus. Smaller gastropods shown include Prophysa sp.]] The first fossilised fragment of a skull was discovered by Diane Trevarthen on a beach near Sandown on the Isle of Wight in March 2011 and it was initially identified as a juvenile of an unknown Goniopholis species. Three months later, the second fragment of the skull was found by Austin and Finley Nathan. The two fragments were donated to Dinosaur Isle. Megan Jacobs also discovered an isolated tooth belonging to the same genus that was twice the size of those from the holotype. The species that the fragments belonged to was named Koumpiodontosuchus aprosdokiti, meaning "unexpected button-toothed crocodile".
