Kiros Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hello everybody, I recently acquired these three beautiful teeth from the Bissekty formation. The seller wasn't sure about the ID. I think they may be crocodilomorphs teeth based on the geometry. I did some research and I found that in the Bissekty formation there are at least four different crocodilomorphs. Can anyone help me better identifying these teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pterygotus Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I’m not familiar with the Bissetky, is it marine? I think crocodilomorph is a good call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except from the crocodilomorphs I think the only marine reptile know is a unidentified plesiosaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msantix Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I am no expert but i think the tooth in the second picture has a cross section like a croc and i am not sure about the other two, they could be Plesiosaur although i suspect all three are from a croc. I found a previous thread that discusses some croc teeth? from the Bissekty Formation that might be useful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Agree suspect all 3 are Croc but we have little info on what Bissektys Plesiosaurs look like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
