Nanotyrannus teeth is real?


Josesaurus rex

Recommended Posts

Hola a todos. He estado viendo publicaciones durante mucho tiempo con dientes de nanotyrannus. Lo que me gustaría saber es si usted, que tiene más experiencia en la recolección de fósiles, podría identificarlos como pertenecientes a ese dinosaurio o no. De antemano muchas gracias.

Base photograph would certainly help. You'd be looking for small indents that, to my knowledge, appear in most but not all Nanotyrannus teeth at the base. It'll look compressed.

It looks like a genuine small tyrannosaurid tooth to me. If the locality matches then it's a Nanotyrannus

 

Pictures of the tooth cross section would help of course

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

in the original post there are no more photos.  However, in other publications of the same seller, which are also by nanotyrannus there are more photos.  I'll upload them anyway.

It looks like Nanotyrannus to me based on the base


You cannot make a determination of identification founded on the appearance of the base by using photos of an entirely different tooth!

Each tooth is unique. And just because the seller’s other pictured teeth are listed as Nanotyrannus, doesn’t mean they are. And even if all the seller’s Nanotyrannus teeth are correctly identified, it doesn’t mean that this particular tooth is therefore one too.

I see where I went wrong. I believed the photos were of the same tooth. I stand corrected. Obviously, photos of the base of this particular tooth are needed for an ID.

¡No puede hacer una determinación de identificación basada en la apariencia de la base usando fotos de un diente completamente diferente!

Cada diente es único. Y solo porque los otros dientes ilustrados del vendedor estén listados como Nanotyrannus, no significa que lo sean. E incluso si todos los dientes Nanotyrannus del vendedor están correctamente identificados, no significa que este diente en particular también lo sea.

Veo dónde me equivoqué. Creí que las fotos eran del mismo diente. Me quedo corregido. Obviamente, se necesitan fotos de la base de este diente en particular para una identificación.


Unfortunately there are no more photos of the base of the tooth.  Similarly, thank you for your explanations.  They have been quite clarifying. :dinothumb:
