Hello everyone,

I hope im posting in the right topic section, if not please guide me

 

Im looking at a Suchomimus Tooth for myself im a new collector. I found one that looks really cool , A bit Ivory-like patina.

I found out that most of them are much darker. So my only fear was: is this a Suchomimus tooth or not?

 

Please find some images of it bellow.

The tooth measures 50mm (5cm or 1.96 inch)

its found at Gadoufaoua, Téneré Desert, Niger
 

Thanks for your guidance 

Best,

Phos_01

Color is not a characteristic that is used to identify teeth.  A solid provenance is most important and reliability of sellers info.  The tooth looks like a Suchomimus tooth but the diagnostic feature is some dentulation on the carina. Cannot determine from the photos provided so its indeterminate.

So not without a Risk if I read this. I can provide A link but I think it's not allowed

No links, but in the photos provided I see no dentulations on the carina which would default it to Croc.  Just wanted to make sure with closups.  The two distal facing carinae also points to croc.

As Frank mentioned, please remember no links, ad copy, or identification of a seller.  Thanks.  ;)
