Frank Eaton Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 After years of finding zero crocodile teeth, I found three in one day on spoil piles miles apart. Since they’re new to me, I’m bringing them here for positive ID. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoNoel Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I think the large miocene crocodiles from the east coast are generally referred to as Thecachampsa, however I don't think it's accurate for all the teeth that are found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't yet found any croc teeth in NC, only a partial scute from green mill run- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
