Hey guys,

 

I was wondering if this tooth was suchomimus or a croc tooth? From Niger. It has a round base and serrations.


Size is 4cm.

 

Thanks for the input.

Denticles on Suchomimus teeth are minute at around 6-7 /mm see attached from C. Hendrickx publication on Theropod features (2019).  Difficult to determine shape and density with these images.

The vertical flutes found on Suchomimus teeth appear to be present but the obtuse images are not adequate to see both faces.

 

Scale 1mm
