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?

Howdy all, I'm interested in this tooth from the Tarheel formation of Bladen County, North Carolina. It's been identified as coming from Deinosuchus schwimmeri, and it looks like it to me, but I just want to be sure.

Howdy all. I'm curious, how many species of crocodylomorphs are known from the Black Creek group and what are they? All I know of is: - Deinosuchus schwimmeri - Borealosuchus formidabilis - goniopholididae indet.

North Carolina Deinosuchus rugosus armored plate fragment (osteoderm) and some other finds from last week
fossil_lover_2277 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Deinosuchus rugosus (I think it's technically D. schwimmeri now) armored plate fragment (osteoderm) I found yesterday in North Carolina's Black Creek group. The whole thing would've likely been around 5"+ in diameter and ~1-1.5" thick. This thing was a beast when it was alive. Also found some Xiphactinus vetus teeth, a tiny but complete Ischyrhiza mira rostral "tooth", my biggest ever complete Scapanorhynchus texanus (this one looks odd in the pic because it curves up so sharply and leans back cause of the weight) and Cretolamna appendicula teeth, and a lot of mosasaur and croc teeth I have as indeterminate IDs. Found a fair amount of other neat stuff too, but these were definitely some of the highlights.- 8 replies

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/
