Coco Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Hi, Do not put your fingers on the photos, make images seen closer, sharp, and give the size of the tooth. Provenance is important! It is the first information that counts for a good identification! Each formation has its own fauna, and until the age of the sediment is known it is often difficult to refine an identification. Yes, it looks like a Moroccan tooth.
