LordWampa Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) 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: Edited January 18, 2023 by LordWampa typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliosaur Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
