JohnBrewer Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 OK, I know it's gonna be an Abelisaurid, gotta check with you guys though! Pictures should say it all. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 That groove looks like just damage to me. I dunno much about serrations per millimeter but this is giving me a Carcharodontosaur feel due to the curve. I'm wondering how wide it is though, since you don't really have any photos of the angles like anterior and posterior.

JohnBrewer Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Thanks Olof, yes it does have a carch shape. I’ll get some images/measurements of the ant/post tomorrow when home. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Yep it's a Kem Kem Theropod tooth for sure interesting tooth....like it...hate to ask but I really need more...more pictures, lots more you did a nice job but it's an odd tooth. Just of the crown, don't care about the root. A view of both edges, a picture of the front of the tooth to see the shape and closeups of that groove especially close to the tip. What is in the groove matrix.? If the denticles on the mesial edge only extend part of the way down it cannot be a Carcharodontosaurus, don't know if the very posterior tooth would be short?

Troodon Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 This looks natural with faint serrations why I asked for closeups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘groove’ on one side is a bit Kem Kem sandy but the other side you’ve highlighted seems to be fairly sand free and as you say does sorta look like denticals. Yes the mesial denticals only run half half way down the crown. Gonna send you a PM now. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hey John, remind me, in the future, not to ask you for additional photos. I need to check to see what's missing Interesting tooth will have to digest what I'm seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 John, I think a few more close-up images, at different angles, will assist in an ID. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 And rightfully you delivered. The tip area is fascinating never seen anything like it, looks like a set of unformed serrations around the tip. Not sure what to say about it but your timing is perfect and will try to show it to some of the people at the show next week. @hxmendoza have you ever seen a tip like this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
