Howdy all, Recently purchased this little crocodilian tooth from the Bladen Formation of North Carolina. The seller says it's Deinosuchus and I feel pretty confident with that ID, considering the faint ridges, but I'd like a second opinion as I'm not yet an expert on the Campanian of Appalachia. 0.2 inches, perhaps a juvenile?

So, I'm curious. Is Deinosuchus rugosus still considered a species? Or is it now Deinosuchus schwimmeri? And the same for D. hatcheri and D. riograndensis. Also, how many species of deinosuchus are currently accepted? As far as I know, it is only D. hatcheri/riograndensis and D. rugosus/schwimmeri, with the former living in Laramidia and the latter living in Appalachia. One more question, I heard that there was D. rugosus/schwimmeri material found in a miocene deposit, is that true?

Howdy all! I recently bought this tooth from the Bladen formation of North Carolina. It was described as Deinosuchus rugosus as I'm pretty sure that's what it is, but I need a second opinion. Regardless, I'm still so excited to finally have some material from this formation!

According to a new study, what was once thought to be one species Deinosuchus hatcheri may have been as many as 3 species. This new study is linked in the attached article which is a good read Deinosuchus hatcheri Deinosuchus riograndensis Deinosuchus schwimmeri https://www.hakaimagazine.com/news/when-deinosuchus-ruled-the-earth/
