Despite its large size, the overall appearance of Deinosuchus was not considerably different from that of modern crocodilians. Deinosuchus had an alligator-like, broad snout, with a slightly bulbous tip. [8] Each premaxilla contained four teeth, with the pair nearest to the tip of the snout being significantly smaller than the other two. [13]

In 1965, a pair of large arms, shoulder girdles, and a few other bones of a new dinosaur were first discovered in the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia.
Size is an important aspect of dinosaur paleontology, of interest to both the general public and professional scientists. Dinosaurs show some of the most extreme variations in size of any land animal group, ranging from tiny hummingbirds , which can weigh as little as two grams, to the extinct titanosaurs , such as Argentinosaurus and ...
