Dracorex_hogwartsia Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracorex_hogwartsia Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Looks legit to me, but perhaps a better expert would be @Troodon “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracorex_hogwartsia Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

LordTrilobite Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 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. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape of his tooth though is identical to my cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I´m not seeing the vertical ridges on this. 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.
