BirdsAreDinosaurs Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hi all! I received this tooth (5 cm) in my mailbox today. My best guess is an anterior Carcharodontosaurid tooth, but I am not entirely sure. It is pretty fat and the distal carina is displaced. What do you think? Thanks!

Nanotyrannus35 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Looks like carch. The theropod indet. and abelisaurid teeth are a lot less robust. Enthusiastic Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
