Moroccan Reptile Tooth

[Othniel C. Marsh]

Below is a reptile tooth, from the Ypresian of the Ouled Abdoun Basin in Morocco, that I have been struggling to identify. I suspect it to be a dyrosaurid of some description, but I'm not particularly confident in that statement. The tooth has no serrations, but it does have a ridge on one side, which I attempted to capture in the final image.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any proposed ID's

might be the tip of a huge Enchodus libycus-tooth when it does not have serration

Enchodus libycus teeth ordinarily have much broader tips, and the enamel doesn't look much like that of an Enchodus, but it could be from a fish.

Photos are pretty poor, but I'm seeing the slight s shape that indicates Enchodus, to me.

I've been scrolling through lots of images of E. libycus teeth and it does look like some of them have only very slightly curves at the tip, so you two are probably right. I'd never have guessed though. Your help is much appreciated, Fossildude19 and rocket.

I also vote for Enchodus tooth.

But perhaps not the saber tooth, but rather tooth following those.

 

Question, does cutting edge follow little bit over to the tip on other side?

[Othniel C. Marsh]

It stops at the tip.
