indominus rex Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Guys, I just want to know whether it is really a Carnotaurus tooth because I haven't really seen them before (Edit:I had to put this new picture because I am indirectly advertising the auction site Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 There is not much that can be said with the information provided. One of the most important pieces of the puzzle is to know the location of where this tooth was found and the geologic formation it was in. There are numerous Abelsaurids in Argentina which are locality/age dependent. I also would like to see additional close-up photos of tooth, serrations and base in better lighting. Carcharodontosaurids are also present in these faunas and teeth can easily be confused with Abelsaurids. My experience with South American theropod teeth, when they were legal to be exported, was that local diggers were not very knowledgeable where they collected and local buyers put recognizable names (like Carnotaurus) to sell them internationally. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I looked for this all over the site to add the second image but could not find it looks like it's been taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it appears that there is a proud owner out there of a "theropod indet" from Argentina or possibly the Kem Kem without a closer look at that preservstion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
