hxmendoza Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Found this tooth yesterday in a grouping of various Kem Kem fossils and dinosaur teeth. It has distinct small serration denticles on what I would call the posterior/distal carina. And it has a distinct anterior carinae with even smaller, but not as well defined denticles. Crenulations may be a more suitable word for the anterior/mesial one’s. It is labial-lingually compressed. And it has a lozenge shaped cross section. Any ideas on what it may be from? Croc? Dinosaur? Fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Looks like croc, but again a really stunning colour pattern. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 What ever it is it is in great condition and I agree with Adam, the color is awesome. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Here is a Crocodyliform from Niger only photo of tooth I can find. Different species is found in Kem Kem. The unerupted tooth is not serrated but who know about the Moroccan species and are functional teeth along with positional variation different. Getting more comfortable with calling it a Crocodyliform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I agree, likely croc. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
