Dear Guys, Yesterday I found three pterosaur teeth in flint erratics- one big (9 mm length) and two small (~ 3 mm length). German scientist Daniela Schwarz identified them as pterosaur remains. I checked their features by binocular- they have the same oblique serration but smaller teeth differs by one feature: ine the upper crown end in one side they are more curved and have broken up contour of the edge. The surface of teeth is the same- very small crevice like ornamentation. Judging by this material, these features make me think that it is the same pterosaur family or genus and the teeth probably are from different mouth parts. The age of Lithuanian flint erratics are Late Cretaceous- Paleocene so these teeth can be from End of Cretaceous and belong to last toothed pterosaurs! If you have quite much knowledge in pterosaur teeth, please help me to find out the narrow taxon which these pterosaur teeth should belong to. This is the first case of their fossils in Lithuania and I am sure these teeth are from the same reptile. Any help will be very appreciated, you are welcome to discuss! Best Regards Domas
