ThePhysicist Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hi y'all, I was thinking again about some Permian reptile teeth, I've seen them referred to online as 'parareptile,' but would like collective and/or professional insight. They are pretty distinctive, with a smooth labial face, and a striated lingual face. These are all from Waurika, OK (Wellington fm, Lower Permian). I have several examples, but they're not much different from these two. @jdp @dinodigger 3.5 mm tall: 2 mm tall: They vaguely remind me of a Caseid tooth, which has the same character of the striations/no striations (or I at least think this one is Caseid...). ^ Reisz (2019) 1 2 “The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.” - A.

jdp Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 1 and 2 are cf Seymouria. 3 could be a few things but caseid is a fair guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting... the ornamentation seems unlike that of the teeth I've seen published, which have minor ridges at the base of the crown but terminate before the apex - the enamel is otherwise smooth. Do you think this is within the range of possibilities for intrageneric/familial variation? ^ Maho & Resiz (2022) Here is a tooth that I thought fit Seymouria a bit better (especially with the smooth enamel and curving mca): Again, thank you for your help - there seems to be a dearth of information on these Permian teeth available to us amateurs. What are other possibilities for the "Caseid" that I could look into? 1 “The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.” - A.
