lone5wolf117 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Here its a huge crocodile fossil tooth its about 2.5 inches and likely to be from Java, Solo River could it be either from Crocodilus ossifragus or Crocodilus porus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Good luck finding a Species. I did a Google search on those two names and the images look more like C. Ossifragus. The C. porosus teeth were not as bulky and is a modern crock versus the other one being pleistocene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 That's a whopper of a croc tooth! I'd go with Troodon's analysis: C. ossifragus. Here's my example. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lone5wolf117 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks for the info i was curious is this the biggest tooth and longest one in size for C.Ossifragus or are their more impressive ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I don't know because I'm not a knowledgeable about this species but if you look at the lower jaw in the attached images yours seems to be one of the larger teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lone5wolf117 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Indeed what a huge whopper of a croc tooth too interestly thats are still people who think its a worn out t-rex tooth because of its huge size and thickness too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akazaran Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I am not a specialist but I have a big croc skull from Java that is probably ossifragus. The biggest tooth looks a lot like your. the part out of the bone is 7cm long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Looks like it would fit nicely in my jaw from Aus too (not saying it's porosus)! There were some big crocs around.
