FF7_Yuffie Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) So, the fellow who I get some of my China pterosaur teeth from has offered me this fossil among a few other worn/battered/partial teeth. He can't place it--says it is possibly a tooth of some kind. It is Jurassic age, from GuangYian City, SiChuan Province. Unfortunately, he doesn;'t know which of the two formations from there it is from. There are two--Shaximiao which is a terrestrial formation and Zhenzhuchong which is mainly marine but has had prosauropod (Lufengosaurus found there). Unfortunately it is in quite a poor condition--but I am hoping someone may recognise it at least similar to others, so I can get an idea if it is a hadrosaur, prosauropod etc. I am wondering if it could be a worn and battered ornithopod tooth--there are a few from Shaximiao.

Carl Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Might not be a tooth. Crab claw is a possibility. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I would also question if its a tooth but cannot add any more to its ID.. It does not look like Massospondylid type tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF7_Yuffie Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Thanks. Seller himself wasnt sure if it was tooth or not. Crab claw would fit--one of the possible formations was marine, and the other teeth he offered today were from the marine deposits. It is one I will pass on.
