[edit]from the table at Crocodylomorpha - Deinosuchus riograndensis 39 ft, yet Machimosaurus is declared the largest crocodylomph ? 104.169.16.115 (talk) 04:20, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- Estimations in meters from each Wikipedia article (considering the most representative studies; some studies, widely considered as inaccurate, might have not benn considred).
- Purussaurus brasiliensis: 10.3 - 13 (One study also indicates that Purussaurus may have been heavier than either Sarcosuchus or Deinosuchus).
- Deinosuchus riograndensis: 10.6 - 12
- Gryposuchus croizati: 10.15
- Rhamphosuchus crassidens: 8 - 11 (10 according to a study from 2001)
- Mourasuchus amazonensis: 9.47
- Sarcosuchus imperator: 9.0 - 9.1
This list shows the reason why both species, Purussaurus brasiliensis and Deinosuchus riograndensis, have been categorized as the largest species from the of the order Crocodilia of the clade Eusuchia of the clade Neosuchia of the clade Metasuchia of the clade Mesoeucrocodylia of the clade Crocodyliformes of the superorder Crocodylomorpha.
In Tunisia, in 2016, the Machimosaurus rex was discovered. It was a species of the Machimosaurus genus of the Machimosaurini tribe of the Machimosauridae family of the Thalattosuchia subgroup or suborder of the clade Metasuchia of the clade Mesoeucrocodylia of the clade Crocodyliformes of the superorder Crocodylomorpha. It estimated length was initially 9.6m but later studies, in the same year, proposed the 6.9 - 7.15 m range.
In Colombia in 2019, a species of the superfamily Teleosauroidea of the subgroup or suborder Thalattosuchia of the clade Metasuchia of the clade Mesoeucrocodylia of the clade Crocodyliformes of the superorder Crocodylomorpha, was estimated to have a length of 9.6m. As far as I know, this species has not been given a name by the resarchers or, identified as an already catalogued species.[1][2]

Clash between two sentences.
[edit]At the introduction it reads
- Machimosaurus rex is the largest named teleosauroid and thalattosuchian, with an estimated length of approximately 7.2 metres (skull length 155 cm).
Almost at the end of the article, it reads
- In 2016, a new species of Machimosaurus discovered in Tunisia was described in the journal Cretaceous Research. Named Machimosaurus rex, it was the largest teleosauroid known at the time, estimated to be 9.6 m (31.5 ft) in length (skull length 155 cm (61 in)) based on a partial skeleton.
Each sentence provides a different source.

The species found in Colombia is a Teleosauroidea but, is it a Machimosaurus?
[edit]Teleosauroidea is a super family that has 3 subgroups: †Plagiophthalmosuchus, †Machimosauridae and †Teleosauridae. The Colombian specimen was classified as a member of the Teleosauroidea super family. But, does it belong to the Machimosauridae subgroup? If it does not belong to such subgroup, it should nor be mentioned here. George Rodney Maruri Game (talk) 08:35, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
