Deinosuchus (/ ˌ d aɪ n ə ˈ sj uː k ə s /) is an extinct genus of alligatoroid crocodilian, related to modern alligators and caimans, that lived 82 to 73 million years ago (Ma), during the late Cretaceous period.
Throughout the 1980s, Wyatt repeatedly tried to interest other people in the site, including ark hunter and former astronaut James Irwin and creationist John D. Morris, neither of whom was convinced the formation was the Ark. [9] [10] In 1985, Wyatt was joined by David Fasold and geophysicist John Baumgardner for the expedition recounted in ...

[1] Deinosuchus had an alligator-like broad snout, with a slightly bulbous tip. [1] Each premaxilla contained four teeth, with the pair nearest to the tip of the snout being significantly smaller than the ...

The ages of the Aguja Formation and its primary fossil-bearing unit, the Alto Shale, are not well understood. Due to the presence of the ammonite Baculites mclearni, which only occurs from 80.67 - 80.21 Ma, in the underlying Rattlesnake Mountain Sandstone and the Terlingua Creek Sandstone, it is likely that the Upper Shale was younger than 80.2 Ma.
