Mousehead Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hello! I recently bought a moroccan Carcharodontosaurus tooth and found, to my surprise, this little guy wedged underneath the foam in the box. It's hollow and looks a bit like a croc tooth but I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think you're right in that it's likely a crocodilian tooth. However I'm not sure of what variety as there were a number in the Kem Kem, most of which are not thoroughly described. Another forum member may be able to narrow it down. A rooted croc tooth makes for a nice little addition with a carch tooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mousehead Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Thank you for confirming my suspicions. It's definitely a nice little unexpected bonus – I was going to throw away the box but thought, wouldn't it be crazy if something else were in here...?

zekky Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Looks croc. Kind of on odd croc tooth though. Haven't seen one quite like it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-fossils Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I agree it looks a lot like croc. Only thing is... those colors do not look at all like what you would expect from the Kem Kem, so I doubt that's where it's from. Which location it does come from, I don't know... brown/black is common for many locations around the world, just not for Kem Kem. And without the location it's gonna be a pain in the rear end to determine age and species! Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.
