PalaeoArt Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hi Everyone, I wondered if I could get a second opinion on this tooth I got hold of a few years ago from the Kem Kem beds. It was advertised as a 1.7" Carcharodontosaurus saharicus but it looks nothing like most of my other Carcharodontosaurus teeth. I've attached below some photos. It's very narrow both laterally as well as across it's width. The carinae are both central and straight with no real twist. The mesial count is 18/5mm and the distal is 13/5mm along the midline. I've sadly no more details on location apart from Kem Kem. Any help would be greatly appreciated but I recognise that isolated teeth from Kem Kem can be problematic. Thanks.

LordTrilobite Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Does indeed look a bit slender for a Carcharodontosaurid. Theropoda indet. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyBoy Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Looks a lot like morph type 6 in Troodons post but agree does not look like Carch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're dead right - it does look very much like Morph Type 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SULLY Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It’s a great looking tooth regardless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimin013 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Very nice tooth no matter what it is but doesn't appear to be carc so it should be labelled as theropoda indet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
