PetrosTrilobite Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Is this a real Afrovenator tooth? This tooth have repair/restoration? Edited July 19, 2021 by PetrosTrilobite Link to post Share on other sites
Troodon Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Pretty hard to determine without a locality, formation and poor preservation. Are any of the carinae visible? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
PetrosTrilobite Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 We don't have more photos. Ok, if not Afrovenator, is at least a real jurassic Niger theropod tooth? Link to post Share on other sites
Troodon Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Without a locality or formation how can you say its Jurassic? There are lots of Cretaceous deposits around the Jurassic ones. Provenance is very important in identification 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What is the location info given? There are tons of cretaceous & jurassic sites in Niger. Do you have a photo of the messial carinae or the cross-section Link to post Share on other sites
PetrosTrilobite Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Tiouraren Fm but we can know if the information is true? Link to post Share on other sites

Troodon Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 It looks like a tooth from Niger. Is the formation provided accurate? Its always a problem with material from Niger because the deposits are very close to one another. Also a good locality to support the formation would help. A better preserved tooth might aid in understand its provenance since the morphology might say its a meglosaurid Link to post Share on other sites
Kikokuryu Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Is that a recent purchase? I think it's the same source, but I see a dozen or so of large croc or Sarcosuchus and some Eocarcharia listed from Gadoufaoua, and a single Jurassic Theropod indet. from Tiouraren Hill. I'd probably try and get some clarification on the provenance. Whether they got their locales via the digger directly, or just a guess based on how it looks. Link to post Share on other sites
Troodon Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Yea it could be Croc but would need better photos to determine that. Link to post Share on other sites
Phos_01 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hello, I would be very careful with this purchase. I had a tooth examined a few weeks back listed as Suchomimus, but it appeared to be a Croq tooth. It was from the same source, thats why I mention it. I don't trust it. Also @Haravex has made a video about these specific tooth, perhaps you have already seen it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CR2N2sfKvzH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Better safe then sorry I guess Best Regards Egon 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Haravex Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Preservation is more similar to elrhaz. Link to post Share on other sites
