Identification of Patagonia's Theropod Teeth

Here is the only tooth in my collection from Argentina.  This is not normally the quality of tooth that I look for in my collection, but as Troodon has said, these teeth from this area are not easy to come by.  It was collected before the embargo, and according to the dealer, was in a very old private collection.  It is from the Allen Formation, Rio Provence.   It was sold as a Carnotaurus tooth, which it isn't, as Carnotaurus is not described in the Allen Formation or the Rio Provence.  However, I have a 7 year old son who loves Carnotaurus, so I took a shot in the dark. :).    Even though the tooth was misidentified, I am very happy to have it in my collection, and I don't regret my purchase.  :dinothumb:

Funny thing Susan, I was looking at buying that same tooth about a year ago also! I'm happy to see it went to the right person and you're happy with it! Theropod teeth from Argentina are hard to come by.
