jikohr Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Hi everyone! I was going through a batch of Spinos I got recently and this one stood out. It measures just over 4.5 cm and appears to have a second carina on one side. It reminds me of those really rare pathological therapod teeth I've seen with parallel sets of serrations except it's Spino so the serrations are.....not as prominent. So I figured it would be a good idea to ask for a second opinion before labeling it as that. What do you all think? Any insight is greatly appreciated as always!

rocket Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 interesting, but as far as I know (we have had some) it could happen at the spinotooth that they have some extra-folds. Do not know if it is another species (don´t think so) or a kind of pathology, but it can rarely be seen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frightmares Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 That is definitely interesting. I've never seen that before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicnfossils Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Neat, it does remind me of at least one tyrannosaurid tooth I’ve found that has a similar-ish fold on it. Couldn’t tell ya why that happens but it’s cool. Here’s a pic 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeing any serrations on the second fold on yours so that's another possibility for what's going on here. Guess all I can really say on mine is it has an interesting pathology and that's about it. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Just throwing this out there, I've seen a lot of tooth deformities in animals due to malocclusion, wondering if this could be attributed to one of these, perhaps occurring while teeth were growing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 the asymmetric incisors on that cat/dog photo is also very intriguing. Look at the 'double' tooth two teeth to the left of the arrowed canine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) In human and modern animal teeth overcrowding is the main cause of tooth deformities so it would make sense that carries over to other species .
