Troodon Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 You cannot always identify a theropod tooth from seeing its shape unless its distinctive. This tooth is your typical theropod tooth and without more information hard to say one way or another. Teeth from the Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan are typically sold by Russian dealers who also offer other teeth. If thats the case I would be more inclined to believe the description. Its size supports T. euotica Let me add when writing out the name the Genus is capitalized while species is in lower case Timurlengia euotica and to be more proper should be italicized.
