Kem Kem Pterosaur and Fish Teeth?

[Josh_irving]

Hi all,

 

Wondering if you could help me identify these teeth found from the Kem Kem group.

 

The top row I believe are Pterosaur teeth (am I correct in saying that they can only be identified as Ornithocheirid indets.?)

 

The second row, I'm not too sure. Could they be fish?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Josh

Here are examples of published Ornithocheirid pterosaur teeth from the Kem Kem Group you can compare against. 

I do not see any with a defined carina and all look like they have a smooth surface.

Thank you for your help, does not having defined carina but having smooth surface characteristic of pterosaur teeth from this area at least?

Just making observations to those published, all you have to go on.

How do you distinguish between pterosaur teeth and say a Echondus libyacus tooth? Do fish teeth usually have carinae? sorry if these are dumb question im relatively new.

Not sure not a fish person. .  Enchodus teeth are sigmoidal in profile.  None of your teeth are Enchodus.

It could also be confused with Aidachar pankowskii fish teeth... I still have some small teeth that I'm not sure.
