Depends on what you mean by crocodile. Crocodiles evolved after dinosaurs died out, when the mammals started to take over.

If you mean their extinct relatives & forerunners like Kaprosuchus, Simosuchus, or older stuff like Postosuchus or Aetosaur, the term would be Pseudosuchian

Desmatosuchus sp. //

This heavily armored, 4.5 meter (15 ft) long reptile belongs to a group of plant-eating crocodile relatives called aetosaurs. It is thought that the shovel-shaped snout helped it dig for food.
