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 discovered in 12 U.S. states, including Texas, Montana, and many along the East Coast. Fossils have also been found in northern Mexico.
This is a list of dinosaurs whose remains have been recovered from Appalachia.During the Late Cretaceous period, the Western Interior Seaway divided the continent of North America into two landmasses; one in the west named Laramidia and Appalachia in the east.
"Microcephale": Said to be an extremely small pachycephalosaur, with skull caps only 5 centimetres (2.0 in) long. Mojoceratops perifania: May be a synonym of Chasmosaurus. Nanotyrannus lancensis: Most likely a juvenile Tyrannosaurus, although a more recent study suggests it might be a possibly distinct taxon based on referred specimens.
Deinosuchus fossils have been found in ten U.S. states, as well as northern Mexico. It lived on both sides of the Western Interior Seaway, and was an opportunistic apex predator in the coastal regions of eastern North America. Deinosuchus reached its largest size in its western habitat, but the eastern populations were far more abundant.
"Deinosuchus was a giant that must have terrorized dinosaurs that came to the water's edge to drink," study lead Dr. Adam Cossette said in a press release.

P. kirkpatricki compared to a human. Postosuchus was one of the largest carnivorous reptiles during the late Triassic. The length of the paratype is estimated up to 3.5–4 m (11–13 ft) long, [3] and an individual of such length would have measured 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall at the head when stood upright and weighed around 250–300 kilograms (550–660 lb).
