Morte Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 First of all - sorry for bad and rude language)) So, I need some help with identification of this teeth. All was found in Russia, Trans-Urals region, in a few different rivers: Belyakova, Sugatka and Derney. There must be Eocene period, probably lutet or barton layer, but I can't be sure, because there is no bedrock, only fossils that river stream brings. Sometimes me and other people found there more old fossils, back to cretaceous even. I showed this photo to few reptile specialists from Saint Petersburg, but they sure that is no crocodile teeth, and insist that is a fish teeth. But i have fish teeth from this region, and they looks different. There we can found Palaeocybium, Scomberomorus, Eutrichiurides and even Sphyraenodus species teeth, and all they looks like different to this teeth. So, what is it? Some new fish species, crocodile of some another reptile? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. What's wrong with this photos? I photographed them with all different sides and all possible details is already must be seen here.. Teeth are very small: smaller of them is barely bigger than 5 mm. I'm sure you can't see nothing new if I just make an another photo with teeth on my hand or on table.

JohnJ Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I truly understand the difficulty because they are so small. Your angles are great, too. The resolution and focus is less when the photos are magnified. Hopefully, someone can offer suggestions to their identification.
