Still_human Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Can anyone tell if these teeth are polycotylid? They’re both claimed to be polycotylidae, from the Orenburg region of Russia. I haven’t been able to find out any more specific site info. I’m especially curious cause the 2 teeth have very different details and shapes.

Haravex Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 doesn't look like much is left to identify on the first one. @-Andy- is your best bet he is very knowledgeable on these 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The first tooth is the right size, cross section and shape. Sadly, it's worn out so I can't see if there's any striations Second tooth has striations and is the right size. The shape is slightly distorted. We know that Elasmosaurs, Polycotylids, Ichthyosaurs and Pliosaurs exist there. Of the 4, your teeth matches polycotylid most closely. So yeah, I'd say they are Polycotylid 3 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!
