After the reopening of the quarry in Holzmaden i visited the quarry Kromer yesterday (Lower Jurassic).

I am very happy to be able to hunt there again ! Shadefully the situation is not that good currently ...

Because of that i didnt find that much. "Only" two teeth and some belemnites.

I want to show you one of the teeth in this topic because i am not sure which specimen it is.

Its a long (1cm) and well preserved tooth but its very thin (0.15cm) and only slightly curved.

Hope you can help me ... thanks :)

My guess would be a crocodile fossil tooth. If you want a species, my guess would be Steneosaurus, but I am no expert at this. Very nice fossil.
