From the album: Dinosaur Teeth

I ordered these two teeth yesterday off an auction site. Both sold as undescribed theropod. Now, I see no theropods are actually desxribed from there--but if anyone is able to narrow it down to a family or something that would be great. Only a small amount of visible serrations unfortunately which will make it hard. The second one, I am wondering if it may actually be Razandrongbe because of the rounded base. Tooth 1 -- 1 inch Tooth 2 - 0.69 inch The full location is Ambondromamy region, mahajanga basic, madagascar. isalo IIIb Formation. To stop the teeth photos getting mixed up in uploadimg, this first page is tooth one. I will replymwith tooth 2.

Some cool Jurassic Dino teeth that are not Morrison Formation
fossilsonwheels posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I’ve been slowly working on improving our Jurassic dinosaur fossil collection. One of the major goals has been expanding beyond North America and the Morrison Formation. We recently picked up two fossils that accomplish that goal. Up first we we have a pretty nice sauropod tooth from Madagascar. This is from what is usually referred to as the Isalo III Formation. I believe the Sakahara formation would be the more accurate name given this comes from Andronomamy. This tooth is kind of interesting. It matches the Eusauropoda morphology of a paper published on sauropod teeth from Madagascar. I researched this a bit further to see if I could maybe get it to a family level. This tooth seemed be close to the morphology of the French sauropod Vouivria, which is a basal Brachiosaurid. Based on what I read, Vouivria was described from material that had been assigned to Lapparentosaurus which is what I thought this tooth might be except it doesn’t match the morphology of the Brachiosaurid/Titanosauriformes teeth in the paper. After my brain imploded from trying to figure this out, I decided to just say we have a nice Eusauropoda tooth from Madagascar lol- 8 replies
