New material attributable to Deltasuchus motherali, a neosuchian
from the Cenomanian of Texas, provides sampling across much of the
ontogeny of this species. Detailed descriptions provide information
about the paleobiology of this species, particularly with regards
to how growth and development affected diet. Overall snout shape
became progressively wider and more robust with age, suggesting
that dietary shifts from juvenile to adult were not only a matter
of size change, but of functional performance as well. These newly
described elements provide additional characters upon which to base
more robust phylogenetic analyses. The authors provide a revised
diagnosis of this species, describing the new material and
discussing incidents of apparent ontogenetic variation across the
sampled population. The results of the ensuing phylogenetic
analyses both situate Deltasuchus within an endemic clade of
Appalachian crocodyliforms, separate and diagnosable from
goniopholidids and pholidosaurs, herein referred to as
Paluxysuchidae. This title is also available as Open Access on
Cambridge Core.
