uk dinosaur tooth

Hello what tooth can its be form a iguanodon or sauropod tooth ? its about 8mm in length and its form Wadhurst Clay Formation, cliff end near Hasting. East Sussex.

 

[Troodon]

Do you have any other angles on the tooth, closer image and better lit?  Dont need to see the block its on just the tooth.  The denticles and long ridge on the first photo would rule out sauropod and would lean toward iguanadont but it difficult to see without improved photos.

I agree with Troodon, I have never seen denticles on an obvious sauropod tooth. Well with the exception of prosauropods and early forms, but this is early Cretaceous.

difficult to say, needs a bit more prep esp down the denticles and better close up pics like Troodon mentioned

Could be lanceolate tooth of Iguanodont (at front of maxilla tooth row).

That’s a beautiful tooth

 

I agree about the denticles but that tooth doesn’t look like an iguanodon to me from those angles. It looks longer and more slender than what you’d usually expect. A cool tooth nonetheless

I agree its unusual. Whether the posted tooth is the same type I don't know. Re. the tooth I posted an image of, David Norman IDed it as Iguanodon bernissartensis from the front of the maxillary row (see his treatise on the Iguanodons of Bernissart for drawing of same) and it I found it along with other teeth, dentary and maxilla see:
