fossilsonwheels Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I need a little help on this Kem Kem theropod tooth. It is listed as .8" but I think it is smaller than that based on one of the pictures. It is listed as a Dromaeosaur tooth. It does not look like an Abelisaur tooth but could it be a small Carch tooth ? I do not know so I thought I would put on the forum to get some opinions.

Pemphix Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yes, on the very first view looks like little Carch... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Possible Carch tooth but I would label it theropod indet. We have nothing published on these small teeth and the two larger Carch teeth in Richter 2013 paper shows the mesial carina extending to the base unlike the specimen shown. Might be a Carch positional variant but definitely not Dromaeosaurid like or Abelisaurid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told some of the 4th graders I visited the other day to hurry up, get their degrees in Paleontology, and get to Africa so they can figure these teeth out Frank lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them to go figure out what all the theropods were eating too since there are not a lot of herbivores found lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
