Teeth ID Bissekty Formation


Kiros

Recommended Posts

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.

I’m not familiar with the Bissetky, is it marine? I think crocodilomorph is a good call.

The Bissekty Formation is characterised by a mix of marine, brackish, freshwater, and terrestrial animal fossils

OK thanks, I think I see resemblance to marine reptile teeth in the two last pics.

Except from the crocodilomorphs I think the only marine reptile know is a unidentified plesiosaur

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

Agree suspect all 3 are Croc but we have little info on what Bissektys Plesiosaurs look like.

Thank you, my teeth seems quite different from the one in this old tread, it's quite a mistery
