Table 4. Mass-conserved homogeneous material properties.

Material properties used for all homogeneous models were that of M. cataphractus, and others are displayed here only for comparison. Note that the units used for density here is in tonnes per cubic millimetre (T/mm3).

Crocodylus moreletii 1.54E−09 12958
Crocodylus novaeguineae 1.56E−09 13191
Crocodylus intermedius 1.49E−09 12313
Crocodylus johnstoni 1.49E−09 12292
Mecistops cataphractus 1.58E−09 13471
Tomistoma schlegelii 1.56E−09 13119
