Per Christian Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hi all, here is a spinosaur rooted tooth with a strange cavity sort of thing at the bottom of the partial root. Does anyone know if it's a hike for a new tooth? Or is it just some kind of damage It's from the kemkem, 7.5 cm long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner64 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 It looks like it’s for a new tooth, yes. Nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Have not seen a resorption pit on Spinosaurid teeth but the depression is most likely caused by unerupted replacement teeth like Runner64 said 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 No the depression is fairly very common on Spinosaurid teeth. Resorption pits is not what is seen on these type of teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Per Christian Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 So i noticed small suture like markings by the base of the carinae, i thought that was typical of carcharadontosaurus, but was it common in general amongst theropods perhaps?
