Thanks Marlon, the color is what especially caught my eye on this tooth :D

Very nice.

Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Two more in my collection I am just now realizing I accidentally left out:

 

Hadrosauroidea indet. (cf. Batyrosaurus rozhdestvenskyi)

Cretaceous (Santonian-Campanian)

Bostobe Formation

Akkurgan (135 km north of Dzhusala railway station), Kzyl-Orda Oblast, Kazakhstan

Theropod indet.

Cretaceous (Berriasaian)

Chamblanc Quarry

Cherves Richemont, Cherves-de-Cognac, France

Very nice teeth from different locations.

A small update but an update nonetheless:

 

Ceratosauria indet.

Jurassic (Bathonian)

Isalo IIIb formation

Ambondromamy, Madagascar

IMG_7681.thumb.jpg.71db169229ef4c2a145de51f7720e22a.jpg

 

Came to the conclusion using a paper by Maganuco, S., et. al. (citation below).  They analyzed theropod teeth from the Isalo IIIb formation and attributed them to 8 morphotypes.  Mine would fall under morphotype 2 by having a mesial serration density of 14/3mm and a distal serration density of 11/3 mm.  The tooth is also labiolingually compressed.

Nice collection indeed. I really like  your Ankylosauridae tooth:wub: 

Thank you for the kind words. The Ankylosauridae has seen better days but is a neat tooth from a neat creature ;).

Always enjoy seeing material from the uncommon localities.  Nice additions.  Quite a good paper you found it characterizes the teeth quite well and why its necessary to analyze isolated teeth to try to get close to an ID and not just rely on photos

Yes, that is the one thing I have come to learn the past few months.  This is especially true for theropod and sauropod teeth from the Jurassic (Morrison, Isalo IIIb, Lourinha Formation, etc.).  Heck, even most small theropod teeth from the Hell Creek formation require an in-depth analysis as well.

Unfortunately to many collectors believe you can ID a theropod tooth based on a couple of photos.  Hopefully this forum can change that thinking.

Here is a new tooth from a very odd location and the oldest in my collection:

 

cf. Spinophorosaurus nigerensis

(Eusauropoda)

Jurassic (Aalenian-Callovian)

Irhazer Shale (Irhazer II formation)

Agadez Region, Niger

1D73CF06-04E4-419F-B5E3-D808E157912E.thumb.jpeg.c070a57684f7b5989f41f1cc55d9a4c4.jpeg8604DA86-C4F6-462D-934B-6CC881098E3E.thumb.jpeg.5b8157a7b534b0c8b99eae66bf70510b.jpeg

 

Paper used to help analyze this tooth:

 

Remes, Kristian, et al. “A New Basal Sauropod Dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic of Niger and the Early Evolution of Sauropoda.” PLOS ONE, Public Library of Science, journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0006924.

 

"spatulate teeth with large, spaced denticles in the apical region, with a higher number of denticles mesially"

Another new tooth:

 

Suchomimus tenerensis

Cretaceous (Aptian-Albion)

Elrhaz Formation

Gadoufaoua, Tenere Desert, Niger

Just received three rooted hadrosaur teeth from Kazakhstan:

 

Hadrosauroidea indet. (cf. Batyrosaurus rozhdestvenskyi)

Cretaceous (Santonian-Campanian)

Bostobe Formation

Akkurgan (135 km north of Dzhusala railway station), Kzyl-Orda Oblast, Kazakhstan


Tooth 1:

Tooth 2:

Tooth 3:

A56D66E3-B1AC-4E87-BE0A-6943586349CF.thumb.jpeg.bfdfee0b19c46941cd18b7fbde36930b.jpeg

A2EDC3B3-F556-46AC-AA00-F7DEC6ADAFE3.thumb.jpeg.6ff80cf89d8ca348488ea8924838b8c3.jpeg

 

A basic overview of dinosaur teeth from the Bostobe Formation:

 

dyke, Gareth J., and Dmitry V. Malakhov. “Abundance and Taphonomy of Dinosaur Teeth and Other Vertebrate Remains from the Bostobynskaya Formation, North-East Aral Sea Region, Republic of Kazakhstan.” Cretaceous Research, Academic Press, 23 Aug. 2004, www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195667104000631.

 

Unfortunately, am not familiar if any papers have been released talking about these hadrosaur teeth.  A maxilla was found with the holotype so no teeth can definitively be attributed to Batyrosaurus rozhdestvenskyi.  @Troodon are you familiar?

Fantastic additions. You sure do have an eye for that rare stuff. Congrats !

Thank you for the kind words. Yea they are hard to come by and require lots of searching but I suppose that is what makes them rare :shrug:

Cool stuff, super adds thanks for posting

Thanks!  Love posting and sharing with the community.  Will continue to attempt to add papers that have helped me lead to conclusions so can assist others.

I think thats very cool.   Good practice to verify everything that is acquired especially obscure teeth and not rely on others to ID them..be the expert.

Thanks Frank, a few more papers to add that I have used in the past but did not cite previously.

 

Paper on dinosaur fossils of Eastern USA with an in-depth list of all cataloged dinosaur specimens in institutions:

Ebersole, Sandy M., and James L. King. “A Review of Non-Avian Dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee.” Research Gate, 2011, www.researchgate.net/profile/Sandy_Ebersole/publication/319376516_A_Review_of_Non-Avian_Dinosaurs_from_the_Late_Cretaceous_of_Alabama_Mississippi_Georgia_and_Tennessee/links/5b6c3f4545851546c9f930bd/A-Review-of-Non-Avian-Dinosaurs-from-the-Late-Cretaceous-of-Alabama-Mississippi-Georgia-and-Tennessee.pdf.

 

Interestingly the following claim is made:  "currently all tyrannosauroid material from this area is now regarded as A. montgomeriensis (D. Schwimmer, pers. comm.)."

 

Paper on theropod teeth of Maevarano Formation:

"Theropod tooth assemblages from the Late Cretaceous Maevarano Formation and the possible presence of dromaeosaurids in Madagascar"

 

Looks at theropod morphologies and classifies them in several groups

Hendrickx, Christophe, et al. “The Dentition of Megalosaurid Theropods.” BioOne Complete, 2013, www.app.pan.pl/archive/published/app60/app000562013.pdf.

 

Paper on small theropod teeth in Bissekty Formation, Uzbekistan:
