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.

Happy holidays all! I have a friend who has a croc tooth, I am interested in. I think it is from somewhere in Montana or Wyoming. It's a little over 1.25", including the root, which is mostly there (sorry, I don't have pictures). What suggests the species of croc, deinosuchus, brachychampsa, leidyosuchus, etc.? They all seem very similar to me. Is it impossible to ID or are there signs pointing towards one species? I am also curious, if the root is present, does that meant it came from a dead animal, or did they shed roots, too?
