Data from: Quantitative heterodonty in Crocodylia: variability and decoupling in size and shape across modern and extinct taxa.

Domenic C. D'Amore, Megan Harmon, Stephanie K. Drumheller & Jason J. Testin
Heterodonty in Crocodylia and closely related taxa has not been defined quantitatively, as the teeth rarely have been measured. This has resulted in a range of qualitative descriptors, with little consensus on the condition of dental morphology in the clade. The purpose of this study is to present a method for the quantification of both size- and shape-heterodonty in members of Crocodylia. Data were collected from dry skeletal and fossil specimens of 34 crown crocodylians...
