Crowmagnon Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hello, I just wondered if anyone has seen something like this before. This tooth is from the Redonda formation, in Quay Co., NM. It measures 34mm long, and has a misplaced 8mm ridge of serrations, in addition to the two main edges that most teeth of this type have. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Cool! I have not seen one like that before. I believe that is a pathology. Amazing find! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Very nice quirky find. Its interesting to think how a mutation like this may in some cases lead to new species or families if it supplied an advantage. Not in this case however, this is probably unique.

StevenJD Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I have a couple phytosaur teeth from the Bull Canyon Formation of Quay County, New Mexico, with three carinae. Here's a photo of one of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Paleontologist Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I looked through my phytosaur material and didn't find anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
