| These ornamental features are sufficient to distinguish C. anthropophagus from most other Neogene crocodylines. |
| A close relationship between Crocodylus anthropophagus and extant Crocodylus is supported by several unambiguous character states. |
| That same hair-mantled, flint-hurling Aboriginal Anthropophagus. |
| Derived states typically found in osteolaemines are absent from C. anthropophagus. |
| Crocodylus niloticus lacks the prominent crest along the maxillonasal suture seen in C. anthropophagus. |
| Cranial ornamentation features that diagnose C. anthropophagus are elaborations of features found among most derived crocodyloids. |
