Ludwigia Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I found this one at my site in the Miocene Burdigalian and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this tooth is pathological.

Darktooth Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Looks like a sandtiger which do have blades that curve somewhat but this looks like it could have slight pathology to it. More twisted than I normally see. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked out the various sandtigers and discovered that this is probably a lower symphesal from Araloselachus cuspidatus. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Hi Roger, It appears a little more inflated in the root than usual, but with the damage to the crown, it's hard to say that it's definitely pathological. The root lobes are too spread out to be a symphyseal. The lobes are at a very acute angle in a symphyseal with the tooth more slender overall. What is the size of the tooth? Jess.

Slant length of the enamel without root is 12mm. You did notice that in the last photo the root is stuck to a blob of putty? Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Searcher78 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I was thinking maybe an upper, I could be wrong. I have a handful of teeth that the roots are compressed together. I assume they are lower middle teeth, but again I could be wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
