JohnBrewer Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hi tooth experts, any chance someone could give a short glossary of teeth nomenclature? I'm seeing recurved, distal etc and Google isn't being as helpful as it could. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Try this paper then will take it from there Theropod dental morphology 2005.pdf Recurved is the curvature of the tooth toward the back of the jaw Distal is the edge facing the back of the jaw Mesial is the opposite edge Carinae is the line of serrations Edited August 9, 2016 by Troodon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thanks Frank, that's a very useful paper, particularly with the diagrams, it makes it much easier to understand. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) John I have a better paper but it's large, PM me your email if your interested. If you have any additional questions since the terms can be hard to understand don't hesitate to post Edited August 9, 2016 by Troodon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
