Isle of Wight Theropod tooth - possible compsognathid?

[FF7_Yuffie]

Hello,

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this I am interested in? A small theropod tooth from Brook Bay, Isle of Wight.

 

0.43cm so it is a tiny tooth. Small, just visible serrations. Oval base.

 

Wondering if someone can narrow the type down. 

 

cheers

I wasn't aware compsognathids are known from the Isle of Wight. Maybe either @Haravex or @paulyb135 can be of help?

There are two. Calamosaurus and Aristosuchus

Doesn't strike me as dinosaurian. Looks more crocodilian to my eye.

This tooth does have small serrations. I am not sure of any serrated crocs in IoW. Or the UK actually.

Are you even sure it's from isle of wight? Looks more pett level matrix from Sussex to me.

That is what seller listed it as. But I agree, Matrix looks very similar to my fossils from there.

 

I dont have anything from Brook Bay so I have no idea what Matrix there is typically like.
