Identification of Spinosauridae Teeth from Northern Thailand and Laos
Troodon posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I see more and more material being made available from Laos especially Spinosauridae teeth and members asking about them. I'm not an expert from this locality just trying to pull together published information to help collectors on both Thailand and Laos teeth. Its never simple . Locality is very important in identification, so you really need to know the specific area where the teeth were found. Just Laos or Thailand is not acceptable Lets look at Localities and formations Nice image from the paper that described a Garfish that shows both Thailand and Laos localities (Cavin 2019) Northeastern Thailand Khok Krut Formation: Morph type 1 : Spinosaurid indet Morph type II : cf Simosaurus suteethorni (Manitkoon et al 2022) The teeth of Khok Kruat spinosaurids (see below figure) can be categorized into two sub-morphotypes (Wongko et al. 2019), both found in the Khok Pha Suam locality. Sub-morphotype I (Fig. 3p) presents a smooth enamel surface of the crown and possesses more than 20 fine ridges on each side. Sub-morphotype II (Fig. 3q) shows a wrinkled enamel surface of the crown and no more than 16 coarse ridges on each side, which is similar to Siamosaurus suteethorni from the Sao Khua Formation Morph Types figure 3 From (Wongo et al 2019) Sao Khua Formation: A: Siamosaurus suteethorni tooth (Sao Khua Fm) B: Indet Spinosaurid (Khok Kruat Fm) Summary of known teeth from different areas ( Wongo et al 2019 ) Laos: The Gres superieurs Formation: -From Savannakhet basin -Ichthyovenator laosensis is considered a Spinosaurinae (Allain et al 2014) -No teeth were found with the Holotype of Ichthyovenator so they were not described as part of that publication -The Grès Supérieurs Formation of southern Laos is laterally considered an equivalent to the Khok Kruat Formation.

Here are two recent publications that provide additional information of Thailand's Dinosaur Fauna This paper describes the fossil assemblage from the Khok Pha Suam locality of northeastern, Thailand from the Early Cretaceous Khok Kruat Formation (Aptian-Albian). We currently see material coming out of this region including Laos so it can be beneficial to those that collect this region https://fr.pensoft.net/article/83081/ The presence of multiple Spinosaurids in the Sao Khua Formation is discussed.

For those of us fortunate to obtain specimens before the ban was put in place here is a study published earlier this year that looked at a fair number of teeth. The blog provides a good read for collectors plus other readings in their references.. Blog http://rexmachinablog.com/2019/09/04/thailand-spinosaur-teeth/ Paper https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332698408_Spinosaurid_theropod_teeth_from_the_Red_Beds_of_the_Khok_Kruat_Formation_Early_Cretaceous_in_Northeastern_Thailand Wongko et al. found in their study that two distinct spinosaur morphotypes were present. Surprisingly, the team concluded that at least two spinosaurs are represented in Khok Kruat.

Here is another piece of my dinosaur collection - this time material from Eurasian countries. Unfortunately don't have any Triassic or Early Jurassic material, so let's begin with Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) of Itat formation, Krasnoyarskyi region, Russia. Theropods are the most common dinosaurs from there, yet their teeth rarely exceed 15 mm in length. Here is my largest one - could be from Kileskus aristotocus, an early Proceratosaurid (ancestor of Cretaceous tyrannosaurs) and the only described dinosaur from this location. Here are a bunch of Kileskus teeth I had before There also likely were more theropod species, similar to contemporary Chinese Dashanpu formation - methriacanthosaurids (equivalent to Sinraptor), megalosaurids and ceratosaurs. Some teeth I have or had that could be megalosaurids due to bulkier shape and finer serrations (all around 1 cm). In addition I have some specimens from diverse herbivores - Stegosaurids Long-necked sauropods (Mamenchisauridae), possible embryonic teeth Heterodontosaurid fang tooth, 5 mm (huge for this species!)
