The bite force of Deinosuchus has been estimated to be 18,000 N (1,835 kgf; 4,047 lbf) [8] to 102,803 N (10,483 kgf; 23,111 lbf). [19] Deinosuchus had a secondary bony palate, which would have permitted it to breathe through its nostrils while the rest of the head remained submerged underwater. [20]
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:
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.
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 ...
A piece of fossilized vomit, dating back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth, was discovered in Denmark, the Museum of East Zealand said on Monday.
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]
