Jaimin013 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Any ideas if this is a croc tooth? the seller says Possibly Coelophysis, or Spinosaurus, or Pleisosaurus? 31mm. Definitely not Coelophysis, don't look spino either and there are no serrations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Is there a location to go with the tooth? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Miocene_Mason Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Coelophysis <—— Definitely not! Lived way before the other two, in different places, and is very unlike this tooth in most aspects. Looks very croc-y to me. 1 “...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...
Jaimin013 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 @ynot no location from the seller after asking them. In my opinion it's a croc tooth. @WhodamanHD I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The only choices would be croc or gator, so if the seller identified a place that never had any alligators, that would answer the question.. In the top photo, that single horizontal carina running lengthwise would imply alligator. However all those other lines parallel to the carina makes me also vote for Croc...

Troodon Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Looks like a very nice Croc tooth but without provenance it's worthless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilsAnonymous Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I would call that a Croc tooth.. A friend of mine found one like that in matrix at Calvert. If your seller doesn't know what his fossils are he/she may not be reputable... I feel like its better to know what you're selling. 1 On The Hunt For The Trophy Otodus!

BuddingPaleo Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 A few years ago I rearticulated an alligator skull. The teeth didn't have the lines and ridges. It was a modern gator, but I don't think they've changed much. My vote would be croc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
