Troodon Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Veru nice tooth but how do you know it's Tiourarén Fm not Irhazer Shale which would affect the ID ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Unfortunately that map is useless since all Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits are in that area. You really don't know the provenance on most material from Niger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Illustrations like this one show the proximity of all these deposits, and has I've said many times, teeth pass through many hands before it gets to a collector. The Irhazer Group contains both the Irhazer Shale and Tiourarén Fm and hard to differentiate without expert knowledge. Just trying to educate everyone and not dive blindfold into Niger material 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on which deposit it came from. Afrovenator is only known from the Tiourarén Fm not from the older Irhazer Shale. Could it be Cretaceous? You dont know, just making assumptions.
