Muschelkalk tooth

Hello,

 

I recently saw this tooth online. It's from the middle triassic layers (upperst Muschelkalk ) of Würzburg in Germany. I only think it's labeled incorrectly? What do you think? Is this a real tooth and what determination would you give to it?

It measures 7 mm

Cannot help you with an ID but it looks very real and the matrix is consistent with I've see from that area.   What ID do they have on the tooth?

Thats a nice tooth !
Würzburg is indeed a very good location to find fossils like teeth from middle triassic layers.

Too bad that I dont collect in those layers so the tooth looks weird to me :) Maybe its an Ichthyosaur tooth?

Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils :)

Regards Sebastian

I think the ID is wrong. In my opinion, I would label it as a Birgeria tooth:

In addition, fossil teeth of Birgeria are very common in Würzburg, Germany.

Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!
