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]
One study indicated Deinosuchus may have lived for up to 50 years, growing at a rate similar to that of modern crocodilians, but maintaining this growth over a much longer time. Deinosuchus fossils have been found in 10 US states, including Texas, Montana, and many along the East Coast. Fossils have also been found in northern Mexico.
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]

[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 ...
The Pyramid of the Sun is the largest building in Teotihuacan, and one of the largest in Mesoamerica.It is believed to have been constructed about 200 AD. [4] Found along the Avenue of the Dead, in between the Pyramid of the Moon and the Ciudadela, and in the shadow of the mountain Cerro Gordo, the pyramid is part of a large complex in the heart of the city.
Khonsu and Osiris were also equated in the Temple of the Goddess Ipet, located next to the Khonsu Temple in Karnak. In the Ipet Temple, Amun was worshiped as the sun god and son of the goddess Ipet-Nut. As a part of a mythical journey, the sun was said to die daily and enter the underworld as the god Osiris and become Khonsu when it is reborn ...
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).
