This was later corroborated when it was noted that most known specimens of D. rugosus usually had skulls of about 1 meter (3.3 ft) with estimated total lengths of 8 meters (26 ft) and weights of 2.3 metric tons (2.5 short tons).

In 1921, a new species of Dinosuchus, D. neivensis, was named based on a large mandible that was discovered in Colombia. [3] D. neivensis was later found to be synonymous with both Brachygnathosuchus braziliensis and Purussaurus brasiliensis , being reassigned in 1924 to the senior synonym P. brasiliensis . [ 4 ]
A pair of researchers with the University of Iowa decided to re-examine existing fossils of the Deinosuchus, a prehistoric ancestor of crocodiles and alligators estimated to be about 33-feet-long ...
P. kirkpatricki compared to a human. Postosuchus was one of the largest carnivorous reptiles during the late Triassic.

Enormous sizes were also suggested by comparing the arms with those of tyrannosaurs , even though members of that group did not have large arms in ...
