Moroccan theropod teeth

[Mahnmut]

Hello together,

I think I may have asked about these before, posted together with other teeth.

They were sold together with other fossils supposedly from kem kem, saying "teeth from Abelisaur/Dromaeosaur" which is not very helpful.

Can any of you tell me more about them? Sorry if already got an answer for these, could not find one.

Only the darkest one shows much of the serration, the sandy part may be repaired?

@Troodon, @LordTrilobite, your expertise would be most welcome.

Thanks and greetings,

Can you take straight in photos of these teeth both sides and base .  Need to see both carina.  More light would help.

[Mahnmut]

Thanks for the quick reply!

I only took the darkest one because the others did not keep as much serration.

I hope my new photos are better.

getting a straight view and good lighting is not easy, I tried to position the tooth so that the reflection shows detail of the edges tough.

Best Regards,

J

Thanks I would say this is an indeterminate Abelisaurid tooth.  Eventually this morphology will most likely be described as Rugops sp. but nothing is published yet.

 

The far right one white tooth is not one and without better images an indeterminate theropod.  The middle  tooth might be an Abelisaurid but you should try to scrape off the matrix.

Wow, thank you.

I would have guessed they were identical except for the preservation.

Best Regards
