PaleoNoel Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hello, hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to share with you what I believe to be an ankylosaur or nodosaur tooth I found while hunting through my bag of Aguja fm matrix from western texas. The tooth is about 7 mm in length and has a bulge at the base which curves to become flattened as the crown continues. I hope I got this ID right as it would be my first Ankylosaurian tooth I've ever found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Can I see a straight in picture of the face on this side. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thanks its definitely not a Ankylosauridae but has some characteristics of a Nodosauridae. So although not 100% certain I would lean that way since I'm having a hard time seeing much else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after giving it a closer look I thought it looked familiar to some of the armored dinosaur teeth i've seen on here (the more worn down specimens). Unfortunately it's hard to get a good photo of it. Happy to have a nodosaur in my collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
