BellamyBlake Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi everyone, This is a tooth I'm looking to purchase from a merchant. They identify it as a Parotodus Sp. tooth - it's 1" long and was found in Morocco. My first question would be, is Parotodus Sp. the same thing as Parotodus Benedini or are they somehow different? Secondly, and because I'm purchasing it either way for my collection, I'd like to make sure this is in fact a Parotodus Sp. tooth. I'm suspicious because, from what I've seen of other Benedini teeth, the root is meant to make up a much larger part of the total tooth. Here, the root seems relatively small in comparison to the blade. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
