In 1938, a major dinosaur footprint find occurred near Glen Rose. Pleurocoelus was the Texas state dinosaur from 1997 to 2009, when it was replaced by Sauroposeidon (Paluxysaurus jonesi) after the Texan fossils once referred to the former species were reclassified to a new genus.
The bigger, but less common, Deinosuchus that lived in Texas and Montana might have been more specialized hunters, capturing and eating large dinosaurs. [17] Schwimmer noted no theropod dinosaurs in Deinosuchus 's eastern range approached its size, indicating the massive crocodilian could have been the region's apex predator. [18]

Extinct crocodylomorphs were considerably more ecologically diverse than modern crocodillians. The earliest and most primitive crocodylomorphs are represented by " sphenosuchians ", a paraphyletic assemblage containing small-bodied, slender forms with elongated limbs that walked upright, which represents the ancestral morphology of Crocodylomorpha.
