Majungasaurus Tooth or Something Else?


Paleostoric

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have recently received photos of this tooth. It is labeled as a Majungasaurus crenatissimus tooth. The location is stated as Maevarano, Majunga, Madagascar. To me, it does show morphological characteristics of being an Abelisaurid tooth, such as a distal edge that is not recurved. What are your thoughts on this?

The tooth does appear to be an Abelisaurid tooth with preservation consistent with the Maevarano Fm.  Good chance its Majungasaurus but without a Multivariate Analysis to compare it to known published teeth its just a guess with just photos.
