Unknown Eocene Crocodile tooth


Mtskinner

Recommended Posts

These two teeth were found in South Alabama where the Tallahatta and Lisbon formation merge (both are Eocene in age) I’m pretty sure they’re both from a crocodile but I’m wanting to determine which species of croc they belong to??? Any ideas or comments will be greatly appreciated! Both teeth are 1-5/8” long and 9/16” wide.

Did not see much published on croc's from the merge.  An older paper identified them as indeterminate.
