Deinosuchus hatcheri

Reptilia

Taxonomy
Deinosuchus hatcheri was named by Holland (1909). Its type specimen is CM 963, a set of postcrania (2 vertebrae, a pubis, 1 atlantal rib, one first dorsal rib, numerous osteoderms), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Willow Creek (CM), which is in a Campanian/Campanian terrestrial horizon in the Judith River Formation of Montana.

It was recombined as Phobosuchus hatcheri by Hay (1930) and Colbert and Bird (1954); it was synonymized subjectively with Deinosuchus rugosus by Lucas et al. (2006).
