Baryonyx Tooth

[Dracorex_hogwartsia]

I see where this tooth just recently sold on an auction site. It was sold as a Baryonyx tooth and although I have never actually seen a real one I do have a cast of one and it looks almost identical. If this is truly a Baryonyx tooth, that was a major score for somebody. Anyone on the forum happen to luck out and get this tooth?

I am the lucky owner of this tooth! Here it is next to my other baryonyx tooth

Well congratulations! That is an absolutely beautiful and rare tooth! If I'm not mistaken haven't you picked up some other beautiful teeth recently. A Diplodocus and Bothriospondylus tooth.

Looks legit to me, but perhaps a better expert would be @Troodon

Thank you, it’s a great tooth, I’m lucky to own it!

 

Just the diplodocus tooth, the other one got away sadly! Will be getting an iguanodon tooth in the near future which I’ll share

Well you're doing great for such a short period of time. I've been collecting dinosaur teeth for over 20 years now and do not have a Baryonyx or Iguanodon tooth.

Really?! You're gonna share it with us?  How nice of you.

So how are we going to do this, take turns holding onto it for a period then send it to another member when our time is up?

I've posted a few things on the forum over the years but I'm afraid I don't have a picture library of all my teeth. I did at one time but lost them all in a hard drive crash! Any pictures now, I have to take at that moment.

Baryonyx teeth has very small serrations on the carinae. But it also has vertical ridges on the enamel. I´m not seeing the vertical ridges on this.

The cast I have of this tooth does have some faint vertical ridges on one side but the other side is smooth. The shape of his tooth though is identical to my cast.

Alright that seems consistent with Baryonyx. Pretty cool.

My tooth has faint vertical ridges. I would also add the tip has been restored.

 

to confirm, it is not a cast and is 100% real. I have seen casts of teeth and this is not one of them.

There should be some sort of competition and the winner keeps it until the next event, like a soccer match. I’d like to be part of the first tourney.

Stunning tooth! Both are really nice.

[Jaimin013]

The Iguanadon tooth is going to be amazing.

[paulyb135]

Thanks all! It is a stunning tooth!

Not an expert, but I agree,  just reading the pdf Troodon added indicate the serrations should be 7 per mm don't seem to be present. The other interesting feature that I see are the undulations in the face of the crown are not consistent with examples in the paper.  The real curvature is also unknown because of the resto to the front end of the tooth.  Not saying it not one just pointing out  anomalies compared to the paper and I'm not holding the tooth.
