Kem Kem crocodile tooth

Recommended Posts

I stumbled upon this neat crocodile tooth from the Kem Kem Beds, and I was wondering if there's any possibility of labeling it beyond crocodyliform? Any help would be appreciated!

Elosuchus cherifiensis was the only described crocodile there with similar massive teeth, but there could have been more. I think cf. Elosuchus cherefiensis would be most accurate.

I agree with Anomotodon. There are a number of crocodiles described from the Kem Kem beds. But as far as I know Elosuchus is the only one that got really huge.
