Hi! Long time no see. I was just sent a link to a publicly available 3D scan of TMM 43632-1, the alleged 13-14 meter Deinosuchus specimen (check it out here: https://www.morphosource.org/concern/media/000769058?locale=en). According to measurements of the 3D scan, the real specimen is approximately 4.6m from snout to sacrum (indicating a total length around 9-9.5 meters), yet has dorsal vertebrae rivaling, if not exceeding, CM 963's in size (up to 16 cm long, vs 14-15 cm in the latter). This means that not only does the TMM specimen not exceed 10 meters, but neither does CM 963 - my reconstruction is not undersized, but oversized! I'll make sure to correct it when I can.

I missed another majorly complete specimen when doing Prestosuchus due to it being described in a thesis rather than paper, so it will need a redo. rip

Can you make a skeletal for Matley 1923 Rajasaurus specimen(the one that's just a tibia(distal breadth=223 mm and extreme length=580mm), a sarcum(610 mm in overall length) and pair of ilium (partials but left one is more near complete and is 960 mm long and has a pubic-ischial process length of 370mm)), well if you want to as its a request.
