Can anyone help me find the exact serration count for Megalosaurus bucklandii teeth?
-Andy- posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi all, I am doing some research on a tooth of mine, and I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me find the exact serration count for Megalosaurus bucklandii teeth Years ago, Troodon kindly provided these values: Distal Density: 8.75 to 20 / 5mm (Avg 13 / 5mm) Mesial Density: 8.5 to 20 / 5mm (Avg 12.1 / 5mm) However, I am looking for the exact values of the teeth used, not the average values. I tried looking for them in Dr Hendrick's 2019 paper, but I was unable to find them. What I mean is I'd like the value to be shown roughly like this: Tooth A - Distal density = X / 5mm | Mesial density = X / 5mm Tooth B - Distal density = X / 5mm | Mesial density = X / 5mm Tooth C - Distal density = X / 5mm | Mesial density = X / 5mm I have been scouring the internet for these info but I couldn't find any paper that provided the breakdown for Megalosaurus serration counts The primary reason I am asking is to check this - My tooth has a serration count of 12.5/5mm(Distal) and 14.5/5mm(Mesial). I am aware that for some Megalosaurus teeth, it's the reverse - the mesial denticles are larger than the distal denticles. However, I am unsure if the reverse could happen i.e. could the distal denticles of a Megalosaurus tooth be larger than the mesial ones Thank you for your help -

Hi, Was wondering if this is a caudal vertebra from Megalosaurus? it is from Oxfordshire, England which is consistent with where Megalosaurus remains have been found but i am not sure of what diagnostic features separate Megalosaurus fossils from other dinosaurs and if there are enough diagnostic features on the bone in question. It is 6.7cm in length (2.65 inch). Thanks.

This is being sold as a megalosaurus vertebrae from France. How does it look and I’m pretty sure megalosaurus isn’t from France so is there a chance that this is poekilopleuron? It is Jurassic late tithonian and is from Re, Charente - Maritime, Dept 17, France.

On Sunday I took a trip to the Natural History Museum in London. I queued up before it opened at 10am and even before then there was a long queue. I have not visited this museum since I was a child and spent an entire day there (10am to 4.30pm - a long time). I was surprised as it is a lot bigger than I remembered and there was so much to see. This place has the most wonderful things and is an incredible place to learn. The museum showcases a Baryonyx, Sophie the Stegosaurus (the world's most complete Stegosaurus) and more! The moving Trex and Deinonychus are also really realistic in the way they move. If you like your dinosaur teeth, the Megalosaurus and Daspletosaurus teeth are out of this world! There is something for everyone in this museum and I would highly recommend that you visit here if you have not already! A lot of the dinosaur specimens are casts taken from other museums but they are still cool to look at. I had taken the photos on my SLR and due to the size of the photos I had to reduce the quality of them to be able to post on the forum which is unfortunate but it's the only way otherwise the photos would take a really long time to load. There are more non-dinosaur related photos that I will be posting at some point later on but may take me some time to pick out. Enjoy the photos from this section of the museum!
