I’m not seeing any obvious carinae. Does it have carinae? The Eastern species is known for ridges on the teeth which is how it got the name rugosus. I’m not sure if the western species have these but the enamel on your tooth looks fairly smooth. Also your tooth looks very narrow for Deinosuchus but that might be because your tooth is fairly complete and the ones I’m used to seeing are just the caps of the teeth. If not Deinosuchus I don’t know what else it could be. The Aguja is well known for Deinosuchus. this tooth does have carinae and slight ridges, just difficult to see from these photos.

Troodon Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Nice stuff that top theropod tooth looks like a Dromaeosaurid. The tooth beneath it does it have serrations ? Big hadro teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Is the base oval or rectunglar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 No serrations, oval and the crown around the base looks fluted or ribbed probably not dinosaurian. Croc? Does it have two cutting edges? Any mosasaur material there probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenJD Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Could be croc, but looks different than the small croc teeth I have from there that are similar sized. Not sure if mosasaur material is found there, I'll do a little research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
