Dino1 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hey guys, I found this tooth listed as a suchomimus tooth. Does anyone know if it’s real or not? I know people sometimes get spinosaurus tooth confused with suchomimus tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Tooth looks like Niger. You need more photos and a closeup of the carina to see if it has serration like beads on it. They can easily be confused with croc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstraktum Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Better pictures would help. It might be a croc tooth (maybe Sarcosuchus). But the picture is just not good enough. Here are my two Sarcosuchus teeth from Niger for comparison: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustdee Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I think it is a croc tooth. This tooth lacks the wrinkled enamel and fluting typical of Suchomimus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The photos are not adequate to properly diagnose the tooth. You need a closeup of the carina to see if its smooth or with a bead serration. On the surface looks like croc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Going with croc on this one for sure after holding and examining a few hundred croc teeth and only a handful of theropod from this region in my opinion its not even close to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Clearer photos will help to solidify that ID but appears much too robust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
