turtlesteve Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Would like to get some opinions on this kem kem tooth. It's just under 1.5", would be a hair longer but the tip is missing (faked with matrix). There are 4-5 serrations per mm on the mesial edge and about 2-3 serrations per mm on the distal edge. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utera Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I'm probably wrong with this but at some angles, it looks like a Carcharodontosaurus tooth. Don't know what species though. Looks really good though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Are you sure the tip is faked. If you can take some closups can give you an opinion. Preservation not the best to properly diagnose it. I believe its a Carcharodontosaurid anterior tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Looks like average quality for erfoud, the tip isnt faked its just worn down the matrix is natural looking, and was probably left in place to avoid making it look worse. I would challenge the possibility of it being a large bodied abelisauridae tooth based upon the lack of wrinkling on the remaining enamel. And also based upon the first image the basal profile looks to be Salinon shaped something normally only seen in abelisaurids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
