msantix Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hi, I was wondering if this tooth could be from a Pliosaur. It is from the Goulmima area in Morocco. It is 8.8cm in length and some of the striations remain near the tip (the size is what makes me think Pliosaur). Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I think it could be very well pliosaur, judging from the shape. See here for example: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273652209_Belege_fur_riesige_Pliosaurier_aus_dem_Jura_Deutschlands 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msantix Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Thank you for the paper (it is very helpful!). I am just about convinced it is from a Pliosaur due to the size and robustness of the tooth. I can't think of any other creatures described from the area that could produce a tooth like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
