Still_human Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Can anyone tell me what this is? All I know is it’s from Kem Kem. My best guess is some type of crocodile. What else even has all those nerve channels besides crocs and the spinosaur family? I think the shape(top&bottom view) looks similar to pancake croc jaws, and I’m pretty sure there were a number of others with that type of jaw, but I don’t know when and where they were, sooooo.......does anyone have any thoughts about it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 can we get closer views of the teeth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 There are numerous Crocodyliforms that this jaw can belong to and Laganosuchus (pancake like jaw) is not one. Need a good closeup photo of that tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a good closeup photo of that tooth. Gotcha! I thought it looked on the thin side, and thought it seems to have more of a U shape than a v shape. I’m having trouble finding anything really similar..... <<did some more searching>> .....Laganosuchus seems to be the closest I’ve come across so far, but only from the shape of the jaw, the teeth numbers and positions are all wrong. I’ve yet to come across anything that comes even as close as Laganosuchus does. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still_human Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Does this possibly help? Some more than others, but the teeth have an oval shape like this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Definitely a left lower jaw of a croc. Does not fit Spinosauridae at all. 3 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Crocodylomorpha maybe suggest looking at hamadsuchus but the jaw is too slender from what described material there is anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no, even I can see it’s not a spino lol, I just mentioned them as something else that has the nerve holes/channels on their jaws and snouts. I was wondering if else has them, or if it COULD be narrowed to a croc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunterc123 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Definitely in the croc family. Looks almost identical to the modern American alligator jaw bone I have on my shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
