Brevicollis Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Hello , I have this tooth in my collection . Its labeled as Carcharodontosaurus tooth but i think its too thick for one . Now I saw a Chenanisaurus tooth which is significantly smaller but it matches very well with my tooth. Is there any chance for it beeing a Chenanisaurus tooth ? It was found in morocco , where exactly is unknown to me It is from the late cretaceous period . 1 Are good signatures really that important ?

gigantoraptor Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) The pictures are kind of blurry (at least on my screen), but this looks like a good candidate for Carcharodontosaurid. The remaining matrix on your tooth is also consistent with Kem Kem matrix, which is where these teeth come from. On a Chenanisaurus I would expect to see lighter matrix. Carcharodontosaurid teeth can get quite thick, depending on position. Edited January 27 by gigantoraptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevicollis Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Will these pictures help ? The color is a bit weird . Too dark for Chenanisaurus but i think its also to light for KemKem . 1 Are good signatures really that important ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does somebody know it ? Are good signatures really that important ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 In troodons guide, thicker teeth were anterior teeth. Also if you want to check Chenanisaurus post. There's no such thing as too many teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdsAreDinosaurs Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I agree it is most likely an anterior carcharodontosaurid. I might be mistaken, but is it missing large parts of its enamel? That could explain the light colour. Alternatively, it could perhaps be a sunbleached surface find. Exposure to the elements could also explain the rough look of the enamel.

Exposure to the elements could also explain the rough look of the enamel. I would say its a sunbleached surface find . It has nearly everything of its enamel but its a bit wheathered .
