BonuFrailman Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hi again, I saw this tooth online and was wondering what you guys could make of it. The seller calls it a ‘Nuthetes’ tooth but from my knowledge Nuthetes has not been found in France. Something odd to me is the preservation, it just looks off for France. The seller has provided only one photo but a decent amount of information. Let me know what you think. Chevres-Richemont Quarry Chevres-de-Cognac, Charente, SW France France Extremely rare 15mm theropod. Dinosaur, Theropod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Not sure you will get an ID on this tooth. Its an theropod indet. The color if the tooth might just be due to poor preservation and prep. This is where you really need to know the seller and have some degree of confidence in his listing. A somewhat similar tooth from my collection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricWonders Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 @Troodon will be your best bet, but I’m not sure how much experience he has with French teeth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A somewhat similar tooth from my collection Nice tooth! I read about the possibility of a proceratosaurid at Cherves which I think would be a more fitting ID for this type of morphology, assuming it’s a theropod dinosaurian. If I find the paper again, I’ll make sure to post it on this page. Do you think that it’s possible that the morphology you posted could be a different type of archosaur (crocodilian, pterosaur?) or do you believe theropod? Best ID for theropod teeth from Cherves-de-Cognac is Theropod indet. Too many unknowns at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Yea I would lean toward it being theropod but so little is published anything is possible. Proceratosaurid is interesting would like to see the paper if you can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, it was from 2004 so a little dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
