So I've got this theropod indet tooth that's from the elrhaz formation, or so the seller claims anyway. The tip is missing and I'm wondering if it's due to feeding wear or erosion? The tooth seems to have been quite worn by the owner, the distal carinae is almost worn away, but i suspect it's also eroded some. The angle of the break makes me think it's feeding wear, but il not certain. Any help is appreciated! @Troodon @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon

Here is a 3.5 cm long tooth from the tiouraren formation, tiouraren hill, Tenere desert, Niger. It was listed as a possible spinostropheus tooth. What do people here think? @Troodon
-
This tooth is from Tiouraren Hill, Téneré Desert, Niger. I thought it may have aff to ceratosaurs and, looking up the formation, might it be Spinostropheus?

Partial Sauropod tooth with root
msantix posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, This is a Sauropod tooth with the root still attached. The tooth crown is damaged missing some preservation but it is the root that I want to ask about. Does the root seem natural or are there red flags that I should be aware of? the tooth comes from the Tiouraren Formation in Niger and is just under 5cm. Thanks. -
Hi everyone! I have my eye on a really nice tooth from the Jurassic of Niger but before I get it I figured I'd ask for an outside opinion on it's ID. The seller says it's a Sauropod from the Irhazer formation of Niger and measures 2 inches long and .9 inches wide. Is he correct? Can it be narrowed down any further than that? Any insight would be greatly appreciated as always!

Hello! I saw this tooth listed online as a Suchomimus tooth from the Elrhaz formation in niger I wanted to know if it was a crocodile or a Suchomimus.
-
So I just bought this of a marketplace, the seller claimed all their pieces were real. Its supposed to be from a Suchomimus tenerensis. I know zero to nothing about fossils but I thought this was really cool so I bought it. The inside appears to be a layer of hard sand, wich is weird to me as ive never seen this on a fossil. Could this be an indication of a fake? Someone else already pointed out that the little holes can be a sign of a casting. Would love some extra opinions.

Just purchased this Eocarcharia dinops tooth yesterday, and the seller is slightly questioning the ID, so I'm here asking for confirmation... Species: Eocarcharia dinops (?) Age: Lower Cretaceous (Albian) Formation: Elrhaz Formation Provenance: Gadoufaoua, Tenere Desert, Niger Size: Around 27mm (1") long; 11/0.5cm Distal Serrations Condition: No repair; stabilized in Butvar B-76 This is likely Eocarcharia, however the color may suggest Jurassic, though it could just be erosion. I checked old photos and they did come in with other Elrhaz teeth, but Jurassic teeth can sometimes get mixed into these lots by the original digger. Nonetheless, a nice tooth with distal serrations (11 serrations per 0.5cm).

Hello, I've got 5 teeth from Niger I thought I'd post all at once to get ID input. Thanks for any help you can offer. (1) Labeled Afrovenator. Tiouraren Formation of the Agadez region of Niger: Posterior looks to be about 2.75/mm Anterior looks to be about 2.5/mm (2) Labeled Afrovenator. Tiouraren Formation (Niger) Posterior looks to be about 2.25/mm Anterior looks to be about 1.8/mm (3) and (4) Two labeled Eocarcharia. Elrhaz formation, tenere desert, Niger. Is it possible for the anterior denticles to not extend to the bottom on Eocarcharia? On both of these, it looks possible that they were worn away on the bottom portion, but looks a little more to me like they end. Maybe anterior teeth? (3) Posterior look to be about 3/mm Anterior look to be about ~~2.5/mm Ending of anterior carina (4) Posterior about 3/mm and less perpendicular than the others, I think NO SERRATIONS PRESENT ON ANTERIOR, given the wear facet. (5) Labeled Eocarcharia. Elrhaz formation, tenere desert, Niger. Separated from (3) and (4) because it seems different enough from them to draw attention to to the diff. Posterior maybe 3.5/mm Anterior maybe ~~3.5/mm THANK YOU!!

Recently got this partial theropod tooth, found in Niger, Gadoufaoua. Likely a Eocarcharia Dinops tooth. If anyone can help me confirm this species, that would be amazing!

Hi, I recently bought these vertebrae, found in Niger. What could they be? Crodilian? Dinosaur? ...

Hello everyone. Just trying to see if I can get some idea of what this may be. Top of the fossil seems to be a tooth but the lower part looks more like bone material than tooth. I know it’s well worn, and I don’t expect any kind of classification. Just trying to figure out if it’s actually a tooth or something different.

Hello, I am interested in two teeth. The first is Eocarcharia from the Elrhaz Formation, Niger - Gadoufaoua. Edited: Size - 1.63 inch Second is an unusual colored Carcharodontosaurus tooth from Morocco -2 inch. Now, is this Carch or one of the undescribed/indeterminate theropods and is there are repairs or restoration that people might be able to see? Thanks
-
Hi all, I'm quite certain this is suchomimus, but just to be sure, what say people here? The base has the elongated shape of suchomimus, and it has carinae on both sides as far as I can tell @Troodon

3 Sarcosuchus teeth with a Certificate. Formation: Erlhaz Fm. Location: Tenere-Woestijn, Niger. Biggest is 3,2 cm Looking for a Megalodon or Mastodon tooth.
-
This Jurassic Croc Tooth was gifted to me awhile back. It's an unknown at this time but I'm hoping someone here with far more knowledge than myself can narrow this down. I have Sarcosuchus and Stolokrosuchus teeth in my collection and this is unlike anything I've ever seen. It actually has a ridge on both sides of the Tooth. I included a video as well... 20211027_162625.mp4

Purchased as Afrovenator abakensis Tooth, Doubt has Arisen...
lesofprimus posted a topic in Fossil ID
I won this tooth at auction listed as follows: Rare Afrovenator 0.62'' Theropod Dinosaur Tooth Jurassic Tiouraren Fm Niger Scientific name: Afrovenator abakensis, (Sereno et al. 1994) - Megalosaurid theropod Location: Tiouraren Hill, Téneré Desert, Niger. Geological Formation: Tiouraren Fm Age: Middle Jurassic, Bathonian stage ( 167 million years) Size: 1.6cm = 0.62 Inch After discussing this with several members here, there is doubt as to the identification... I contacted the seller and he finally replied, as follows: Dear Dan, Hope you are doing well. Regarding your question and your concern about the correct identification of that theropod tooth. I can assure you 100% that this tooth comes from the Tiouraren Fm, from the Jurassic of Niger. I got it from my trusted supplier in Niger. There is no possibility that there has been a mixture or confusion with teeth of another formation. It could be another type of theropod, but its origin is guaranteed. I am very careful with my suppliers and with the material that I sell. However, if for any reason you are not convinced, I will gladly and without any problem accept a return. I went through Troodon's post concerning Niger Teeth as well as searching the forum and have now put this post together to discuss it... I'm extremely perturbed that this might be a misidentification. Opinions are always appreciated...

possible E. dinops tooth
AJ the Tyrant posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey! I’m thinking about buying this possible Eocarcharia dinops tooth. I want to make sure that it is completely authentic and correctly identified. It does say it is from the Elrhaz formation in Gadoufaoua, Niger, but I just want confirmation (if possible because identifying theropods from Niger can be quite difficult) that this indeed an E. dinops tooth.

While I was sorting through my collection of croc fossils, I came across these Elrhaz Formation teeth I bought 6 months ago and never did figure out what they were. I assume they are croc and not some kind of fish, though I could be wrong. I've never seen these apart from the one source I purchased them from. I've been told they were Sarcosuchus, then Kaprosuchus, then Suchomimus. Pretty sure it's not Sarcosuchus, and the images I can find of Kaprosuchus don't seem to match. Suchomimus, I don't know, but my gut feeling is, no, I've seen dozens of Suchomimus and fake-Sucho crocs, and never found a match. If anyone is familiar with this morphology, any input is appreciated. Locale: Gaoufaoua, Tenere Desert, Niger Last picture is a couple of other crocs from the same lot. One (the robust one on the right) is probably Sarcosuchus.

Hi everyone, I have here an indeterminate theropod tooth from from the Tiouraren Fm of Niger. The locality given to me was Tiouraren Hill, Téneré Desert. I've used Troodon's thread to narrow down the possibilities: 1.23" long 0.49" wide Distal serration density is 2.33/mm (mid-carina) Mesial serration density is 2.33/mm (near the tip; no serrations visible mid-carina) It's a partial tooth so I cannot get accurate base/height ratios. I'd appreciate any help identifying this. Thank you, Bellamy

Hi all. It seems I'm spamming the forum these days.. I came across this suchomimus tooth, and I'm aware many are in fact croc teeth. Does anyone here know whether this is suchomimus or crocodile?
-
Hello everyone! I got this tooth from a seller, he said that it was found in Niger but he don’t know that it suchominus tooth Or Croc tooth. Can you help me to have a look on it? thanks guys

This is a sauropod tooth from Irhazer formation, Niger. It measures almost 2 inches from tip to base, and the widest part measures 0.9 inches. The seller mentioned this tooth may be a Jobaria, but there is no Jobaria have been described from the Irhazer formation. The Irhazer formation underlies the Tioraren formation where Jobaria was reported. The only spoon-shaped teeth sauropod known from the Irhazer formation is Spinophorosaurus, but the teeth has no serration on it. According to the paper 'Sauropod Tooth Morphotypes from the Upper Jurassic of the Lusitanian Basin (Portugal)' , the tooth looks very similar to the compressed-cone chisel tooth, which attributed to macronarian or basal titanosauriforms. http://novataxa.blogspot.com/2017/03/sauropod-teeth-jurassic-portugal.html base of the tooth
