Crocodylus halli (Halls New Guinea Crocodile)
Taxonomy
Crocodylus halli was named by Murray et al. (2019) [Crocodylus halli is readily separated from C. novaeguineae based on a longer frontal bone (versus shorter in C. novaeguineae); a shorter maxilla and nasal (versus longer in C. novaeguineae); long and wide postorbital and squamosal (versus short and narrow in C. novaeguineae); and a wider palatine of pterygoid that extends posteriorly (versus narrow and medially oriented in C. novaeguineae). Additionally, C. halli possesses no more than four non-contiguous post- occipital scutes, versus four to six contiguous post-occipital scutes in C. novaeguineae.]. It is extant. Its type specimen is USNM 211290, a skull (skull with mandibles; sex unknown).
