Howdy all,

 

I'm interested in this Afrovenator abakensis tooth and am curious if it's legit.

 

It was found in the Middle Jurassic Irhazer Shale of Agadez, Niger and is 1.3" long.

It's possible that it is Afrovenator, but Niger material is generally difficult to id, as a lot of the formations there overlap. I believe the Irhazer Shale is comprised of two formations. Nice tooth regardless. Great serrations.
