 D. riograndensis is the only Croc currently described from the Aguja Formation of Texas.   Hard to ID isolated Croc teeth and the question is are there other large croc's in that deposit that have yet to be described like other Campanian deposits.    

 

Not the greatest images but something to compare against;  All that was said about the teeth is as follows:

"The best-preserved teeth demonstrate modest mesiodistal carinae. Distal to the second and third teeth, crowns get progressively lower and less dagger-like. The dagger-like and low-crowned teeth likely functioned for holding (or tearing) and crushing"
