DatFossilBoy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Mmh. For sure a tooth of a crocodilien but its hard to tell if its from that specie in particular. A lot of fossilized crocodile teeth look like that... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Nice croc tooth! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indominus rex Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Better and more close up pictures would be more helpful in identifying it. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Here is a paper describing the holotype of Araripesuchus3 patagonicus if this is the same species you are asking about. In doing a Google search appears there is another species described from this region Araripesuchus buitreraensis, which is the second link both papers are paywalled. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1671/0272-4634(2000)020[0057%3AANSOAC]2.0.CO%3B2 http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.1206/0003-0082(2005)490[0001%3ANARFTE]2.0.CO%3B2 Here are pictures I found of an Araripesuchus jaw from Niger that shows teeth I have no idea if the morphology of those from Argentina are different but these are maxillary teeth. Your tooth appears to be a standard croc tooth not similar to what is seen from these type of Crocodylomorphs but don't know not my area of knowledge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I would be interested in the answer as well. I have a similar tooth from Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 My experience with dinosaur material from this region is that very little is identified property with most sellers using names that help sell the specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
