Praefectus

Recommended Posts

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help me narrow down the identification of this phytosaur tooth. Is it possible to determine the genus or species from just a tooth? I think Redondasaurus may be a potential match, but it looks like there are a few archosauriforms in the Redonda formation. Thanks for any help. 

 

Phytosaur Tooth

Triassic, Norian

Redonda Formation

Quay County, New Mexico

 

CH: 32 mm

CBW: 11 mm

CBL: 12 mm

Distal: 3 serrations/mm

Mesial: 3.5 serrations/mm

Beautiful tooth.  I cannot help with an ID dont know if you can differentiate between phytosaurs.

 

You might want to contact one of these folks who might have more insight into yours.  

BTW the juvie skull had no teeth
