Jaimin013 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi all, Please could someone let me know what you think of this tooth? Location - Gadoufaoua, Niger Sorry if the pics are poor quality they are screenshots of an already unclear pic from the seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomotodon Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Preservation definitely looks like a tooth from Gadoufaoua, Erlhaz fm. Thickness, absence of folds and lingual curvature look more like a pholidosaurid crocodile rather than dinosaur (like Suchomimus), and Sarcosuchus is the only known large pholidosaurid in that fauna. There could be more species - but we don't know that for sure yet. I think cf. Sarcosuchus or Pholidosauridae indet. is the most accurate ID Here are some of mine for comparison 1 The Tooth Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
