ID dinosaur teeth from Africa


Raulsaurus

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have gotten these 3 teeth from a friend. The 3 are from Africa but I do not know their exact location since they have been there for years. According to what he told me the first 2 are of suchomimus (the teeth that I have seen of suchomimus are more gray and black) and the last one of camarasaurus. What do you think? Thank you so much!

The first tooth is Spinosaurid indet. from the Cenomanian Kem Kem beds in Morocco. There are two Spinosaurids described here (Spinosaurus aegyptiacus and Sigilmassasaurus brevicollis) and their teeth can't be distinguished from one another.

Second one is either from a species of Crocodyliform or Spinosaurid. Not entirely sure. Probably from Kem Kem beds also.

Suchomimus is from Niger and has small serrations on their teeth, but these match the Kem Kem beds way beter in colour and preservation.

 

Last one I can't ID, but doesn't look like a tooth to me. Camarasaurus is a North American genus and this doesn't look like a tooth of one.

Thank you so much! So not suchomimus :)

The last one is a tooth.

I never see like this one.

These photos are from Internet, camarasaurus teeth

In order of posted pictures.

Spinosaurini sp.

Crocodyliform 

Gar fish scale

 

also worth noting the spino tooth has some crack fill.

No it's not a tooth as stated by other camarasaurus was jurassic in age you can find similar cetiosaur teeth from Morocco but these do not come from the kem kem beds.

Haravex is correct. That last specimen is not a tooth but a fish scale. And it does indeed look like a large gar.
