Deinosuchus species present in the Kaiparowits

[edit]

Not sure it this is the place to put this, but the article suggests there are two species of Deinosuchus present in the Kaiparowits Formation, D. hatcheri and D.riograndensis. The references cited for the presence of D. riograndensis is a presentation abstract that does not refer the specimen to a specific species of Deinosuchus, just the genus. The paper cited for D. hatcheri appears to be talking about the same specimen and shares a co-author. D. riograndensis should be removed from the list, with Reference 16 being cited for the presence of the genus and Reference 15 for the referral D. hatcheri.
