Yuriy Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hello! I need your help to ID this tooth. It is from Bissekty formation. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Wow very odd tooth. Can I see a photo of other carina and one of the base. Height of just the crown from cervix? Serration count midline over 5mm . Looks a bit like Richardoestesia asiatica but too robust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Thank you. Have not see a tooth quite like this one because big theropod teeth are not usually triangular. The only one described from the region that is that shape is Richardoestesia asiatica. Unfortunately the serration density is to low to be one as well as the size of the tooth is too large and its not compressed enough. Other than it not being recurved the morphology fits Timurlengia. Might be an unerupted tooth not fully developed, weird positional tooth or a different species do not know. Hans-Dieter might be interested in seeing it since he described Timurlenga. So why dont you send him an email with all the info, photos you provided me, he might respond to you. If he does give us the feedback. Hans-Dieter Sues E-mail Address: suesh Edit also provide him the length (FABL) and width (BW) of the base at the cervix Edited March 23, 2018 by Troodon 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the following answer from Mr. Sues: The tooth crowns looks like those of the more anterior teeth of Timurlengia but the vertical striations are very different. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic, happy that he replied now you have an answer from a real expert The striations might just be a function of how it minerialized or something different. Now he knows its out there. Now I need to see if other positional are out in the market for my collection. Nice tooth enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
