Hi guys I picked up this tooth recently from Morroco. It’s approximately 6cm long (Just a little short) The tooth is said to come from the High atlas region in morroco, Talsint, Figuig province. The Ksar metlili formation (140-152 MYA) making the tooth Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous. On mesial side 10 serrations per 5mm and distal 9 serrations per 5mm. Base of tooth is slightly damaged but looks ovalish. Some wear to top of tooth. I know some of these teeth actually come from the Dekker formation and could possibly be synonymous with the Kem Kem beds - so could the tooth be a carcharadontosaurus? compared to my other two carch teeth from the classic beds the tooth looks different nt as do the serrations look a little different under high magnification original seller listed it as theropod indet. But said he had done some research and thought it to be similar to Allosaurids (I’m not too sure but I’m not as Familair with these new morrocan teeth) many thanks, GK

I’m doing a paper for school on Salinity, particularly how it effects the bay and the living things inside it. I’m also supposed to compare it to the world at large. As a bonus for myself, I’m looking to show how salinity fluctuations have effected past ecosystems. Do they find all the mosasaurs in the Kem Kem beds? Or is that just the dinosaurs? What is the age of this marine habitat? Also, any other studies on the past salinity in the oceans and the effect of the salt on the ecosystem would be helpful. Thanks all!
