Is it suchomimus teeth?

[LordWampa]

Hello, I need again your help as I see it's better to ask for your opinion before buying anything.

 

Are this suchomimus teeth? They are in theory from Elrhaz Fm in Gadoufaoua, Téneré Desert, Niger.

 

Is it normal that given that all of them come from the same place there are so many diferent colors? And with tooth 1, and the pack of 4 are they missing all the enamel, because with this colors in this particular case I am not sure if it's enamel or not.

 

Thanks!

 

Tooth 1.

 

 

Tooth 2

 

Tooth 3

 

Pack of 3

 

 

Pack of 4:

This is a great post by @Troodon on dinosaur teeth from Niger

Please note that there are multiple spinosaurids in the Elrhaz deposits so its difficult to categorize the tooth in question as belonging Suchomimus. It should be labeled Spinosaurid indet until more information is available

Suchomimus tenerensis

Spinosauridae (Baryonychinae)

Elrhaz Formation (Aptian–Albian, ca. 112 Ma)

Locality: Gadoufaoua

Tooth:

Features: 

Density: 6 mm

Small marginal serrations

Textured, granular enamel

Subcylindrical in shape (conical)

Longitudinal fluting and or faceting

A key feature I always look for in the identification of Suchomimus teeth is tiny serrations on the carinae along with the faceting.  Color variations may indicate different deposits in other areas.  I definitely have an issue with accuracy localities on most Niger teeth.
