HI all! I am pretty sure this is a theropod tooth - it has carinae but only on one side. It's curve is odd though. I can't quite seem to place an ID on it. Any help will be appreciated! It's 4 mm

Found this very lovely little tooth in my Aguja Formation matrix (Brewster Co. of Texas) and while the root makes me think mammal, I'm not sure what to make of it. @ThePhysicist I saw you posted a Metatheria which looks very very similar, so am wondering if it is the same critter?

From the album: Aguja Formation
A shed tooth from a juvenile Hadrosaurid. Their teeth are arranged in dental batteries which like a conveyer belt constantly replace worn teeth. Because these marvels of eating machinery house hundreds of teeth at a time, their worn teeth are fairly common. In addition to being worn by the animal's mastication, shed teeth are often smoothed and tumbled by rivers before they are buried in sediment and fossilized.-

Trading my Aguja Fm dromaeosaur tooth for another rare dromy tooth
-Andy- posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
Hello, I am trading my Saurornitholestes sp. from the Aguja Formation of Brewster County, Trans-Peco region, Texas for another rare dromaeosaur tooth. I do not mind an indeterminate genus or species as long as it's from a rare locality, preferably Two Medicine Fm I already have dromaeosaur teeth from the following localities: Hell Creek Fm Judith River Fm Horseshoe Canyon Fm Lance Fm Kem Kem Grp So ideally, I'd like a dromy tooth from another formation. Thank you -

I found this tooth in my Aguja matrix and the serrations are way larger than any of the other teeth I've found! I can take more pictures but this tooth is so tiny and I'm unsure of it's exact measurements.

DeMar also has a nice description of the differentiation between eutherian/metatherian upper molars: "The upper molars of metatherians and eutherians are triangular shaped with three major cusps or bumps on the occlusal surface of the crown. The main difference

Hi y'all, I found this neat mammal molar from the Aguja yesterday. My best guess is a Eutherian or Metatherian upper molar. @jpc@Troodon
