Aguja Formation juvenile Deinosuchus tooth?


ThePhysicist

Recommended Posts

Fresh out of the Aguja, found this crocodilian tooth. I know Deinosuchus is present in the formation; I thought it could be based on the strong striations and stoutness? Or can it only be called Eusuchia?

 

It's about 5 mm in length:

I'm not sure you definitely say its one since others are present in that deposit.

 

Here are screenshots from ( 2008, ) Sankey, J.T. and S. Baszio paper on the microfauna assemblage of  the Aguja.
