Miocene_Mason Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I recently purchased a small lot of Alligator teeth from the Miocene bone valley of Florida online, and three out of the four looked as a Alligator tooth usually looks (two sutures on each side, straight, stubby) but one looks to me like a crocodile tooth, here's some pictures can anyone tell me which one it is? It's partial which muddles an ID a little. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesuslover340 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 From what I can see from the photos, I would venture to say crocodile; probably Thecachampsa/Gavialosuchus. This thread will hopefully help you narrow it down: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/77199-gator-vs-crocodile-teeth-id/ 1 "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."-Romans 14:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already looked at that thread, but I wanted confirmation from those who know more then me (such as yourself). “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
