BonuFrailman Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hi everyone, Was wondering what you guys thought about this partial tooth shard. The seller is apparently the one who discovered the oldest spider fossil and dinosaur brain fossil. Seller says this fossil came from HASTINGS SUB GROUP WEALDEN SUPERGROUP WEALDEN OF SUSSEX Let me know what you guys think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very small in hand so I could try to take a picture with a loupe if that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 All I can personally say is better photographs need to be provided before making a purchase. Make sure you have good lighting on the tooth shard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Baryonyx denticles are not typical of other theropods. Example below. Your again looks more like an iguanodont 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonuFrailman Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Those are the best pictures I was able to take. My apologies I have shaky hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 can you make a temporary tripod? to attach a loupe to a camera phone hair tie works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner64 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 More lighting and higher quality photos may aid in getting an accurate ID. I can't really make out what it is from the pictures at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I'm in the Iguano-Camp here. From what can be seen (not much) i'm with Troodon - looks more like Iguano. P.S.: Some kind of juvenile lungfish have similar shape and denticles...so the size to know may help a little bit, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
