Hi folks, Here's another fossil I've always wondered about. I've always been frustrated with a general lack of early synapsid material (outside of some "pelycosaur" pieces) and I inquired from one of my trusted diggers at the time whether he had any cynodont material. Much to my surprise, he offered this tiny tooth. It's much larger than the classic Morganucodon mammaliform teeth but smaller than the Hell Creek multituberculate material. I had a great deal of difficulty photographing it even with a macro lens. It is from the Bull Canyon Formation, New Mexico, late Triassic. I've tried looking up pictures of cynodont teeth but they're so diverse. I'm hoping someone on this amazing forum can confirm whether or not it is a cynodont or can identify it even further. Thanks so much Cheers Marcus
