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.

Schwimmer discusses skull size in chapter 3 ("The Size of Deinosuchus"). The skulls from eastern specimens are about 1 m (3.3 ft) long. A newly-discovered Big Bend Deinosuchus specimen was 1.31 m (4.3 ft) long. These are from animals estimated by Schwimmer as 8m and 9.8m in length, respectively.
