indominus rex Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 A guy offered me this Pterosaur tooth that is supposedly from Tanzania. I want to know if it looks like it matches the teeth from the Tendaguru beds. Or whether it is a Pterosaur tooth from Kem Kem. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils.

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Well, there definitely is an Upper Jurassic record of pterosaurs in Tanzania (i.e. Tendaguru Fm. you mentioned). But it's exceedingly rare, I doubt any material from over there would be up for sale.. Were you made aware of the specimen's age? This paper might help upper Jurassic pterosaur jaw.pdf -Christian P.S. If the tooth really is from a Tanzanian pterosaur, I think there are several people from the NHM of Paris who'd want to take a look at that specimen Edited October 27, 2018 by The Amateur Paleontologist 3 Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!
