Pterosaur Tooth

[connorp]

I asked about this guy around a year ago and didn't seem to get a positive answer. Newfound skepticism and a better-ish camera has led me back here. While I trust the dealer I purchased from, he still could have been duped by his supplier. And considering pterosaurs are my favorite creatures, I feel strongly about getting some further input. So here we go.

Dealer states it is a Siroccopteryx moroccensis tooth found in the Tegana Formation (part of the Kem Kem Beds), so early Cretaceous.

First thing I notice is the cross section. Through some research, it seems that plesiosaur teeth are commonly mixed up with pterosaur teeth. But from what I can find, plesiosaur teeth have a conical shape, and a more circular cross section. My tooth seems to have a more elliptical cross section, which seems to be consistent with pterosaur teeth.

Second thing I notice is what I believe to be enamel. I've found that pterosaurs had only a thin layer of enamel compared to many other animals with like teeth (from pterosaur.org.uk for reference), and what I think to be enamel is very thin, though it may be a result of decomposition. I'm referring to the darker brown spots around the tip of the tooth.

Finally, the general curvature of the tooth is what I would expect.

So am I right in my reasoning to believe this to be as described? Or am I missing something? Hope the pictures are clear enough. Please LMK if they're not. Thanks for any help!

It is what your dealer friend told you it is.

Nice acquisition.

It look authentic to me.

I wish I could say nice find, but nice buy!
