The bite force of Deinosuchus has been estimated to be 18,000 N (1,835 kgf; 4,047 lbf) [8] to 102,803 N (10,483 kgf; 23,111 lbf). [19] Deinosuchus had a secondary bony palate, which would have permitted it to breathe through its nostrils while the rest of the head remained submerged underwater. [20]
Deinocheirus (/ ˌ d aɪ n oʊ ˈ k aɪ r ə s / DY-no-KY-rəs) is a genus of large ornithomimosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous around 70 million years ago.

[113] [114] Debate on megafaunal extinction in Australia has historically centred on whether the extinctions were caused by humans (which most sources estimate arrived in Australia at least 50,000 years ago, spreading to Tasmania later around 42-41,000 years ago [115]), or whether many megafauna species had already gone extinct prior to human ...
They are currently the most successful and diverse group of living reptiles, with more than 10,000 extant species. The only major group of terrestrial lizards to go extinct at the end of the Cretaceous were the polyglyphanodontians, a diverse group of mainly herbivorous lizards known predominantly from the Northern Hemisphere.

Gryposuchus is an extinct genus of gavialid crocodilian. Fossils have been found from Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and the Peruvian Amazon. The genus existed during the Miocene epoch (Colhuehuapian to Huayquerian). [2] One recently described species, G. croizati, grew to an estimated length of 10 metres (33 ft).

Life restoration of Sarcosuchus imperator. Sarcosuchus is a distant relative of living crocodilians, with fully grown individuals estimated to have reached up to 9 to 9.5 m (29.5 to 31.2 ft) in total length and 3.45 to 4.3 metric tons (3.80 to 4.74 short tons) in weight. [2]
Due to the fact that there are six to seven different names of sun temples mentioned in primary sources from this period, it is suggested there are at least six different temples. [5] However, there is no specific term for sun temple in ancient Egyptian. [4] The temples were also a source of great wealth and importance in ancient Egypt. [4]
