I would not trust that either, I dont think a shop is a good source. They are some exceptions but still. I think the temporal range is okay. if you want to use the PBDB for the Maastrichtian just say possible "____" record (example here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinosaurus) .

: Still, sourcing from PBDB is questionable. PBDB references should be replaced with citations to the original sources whenever possible. [[Special:Contributions/207.6.49.199|207.6.49.199]] ([[User talk:207.6.49.199|talk]]) 04:06, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
== Largest Deinosuchus specimen ==
There are several claims on the internet, including diagrams and references to certain specimen, which claim to come from a 13+ meters individual. See: [https://www.deviantart.com/sobek1926/art/Deinosuchus-hatcheri-p2-936693265], [https://www.deviantart.com/fadeno/art/Deinosuchus-hatcheri-multiview-skeletal-850628356], [https://www.deviantart.com/fadeno/art/The-Terrible-Crocodiles-Deinosuchus-skulls-840506033]. However, they appear in amateurs' websites and not in scientific publications. According to David Schwimmer's monography ''King of the Crocodylians'' (2002), the largest Deinosuchus was about 12 meters long. So is there a basis to 13+ meters Deinosuchus individuals or that 12 meters in currently the maximal length supported by science?
