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.
English: A comparison of several size estimates for Deinosuchus, a giant Late Cretaceous crocodilian. The largest credible specimen of modern C. porosus (saltwater crocodile) is also included in the diagram for comparison, as is an average height human. Full citation information:
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 ...
At long irregular intervals, Earth's biosphere suffers a catastrophic die-off, a mass extinction, [9] often comprising an accumulation of smaller extinction events over a relatively brief period. [10] The first known mass extinction was the Great Oxidation Event 2.4 billion years ago, which killed most of the planet's obligate anaerobes.
This study found no correlation between bite force and snout shape. The gharial's extremely slender jaws are relatively weak and are built for quick jaw closure. The bite force of Deinosuchus may have measured 23,000 lbf (100 kN), [36] even greater than that of theropod dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus. [59]

The timeline of human evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, Homo sapiens, throughout the history of life, beginning some 4 billion years ago down to recent evolution within H. sapiens during and since the Last Glacial Period.
Gryposuchus is an extinct genus of gavialid crocodilian. Fossils have been found from Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and the Peruvian Amazon.The genus existed during the Miocene epoch (Colhuehuapian to Huayquerian). [2]
