North Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 This tooth looks bit like one of Xenodens calminechari, so I would like to get opinions could it be one or perhaps something else. Marocco, Oued zem. Crown H: 1.0cm, L: 1.0cm, W: 0.6cm. There's no such thing as too many teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosasaurine posterior, due to the curvature of the tooth, relative to its carinae.

North Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Thank you everyone for input. I guess it makes sense. Thin round profile seemt bit unusual. Even at replacement tooth much as it can be seen. But I think I treat it as posterior Mosasaurine indet. There's no such thing as too many teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoun11 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 its a distal prognathodon teeth ,small and curved. perhaps thalassotitan . The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. Terry Pratchett ...

Could slight medial curvature be cause of jaw position? There's no such thing as too many teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
