Hello there!

They came from Maevarano formation, Berivotra, Madagascar. Can you help me? Thank you.

Is it really?

Hmm, we need to see pictures of the carina on the first tooth. From all what i know about Masiakasaurus teeth, the carina has a significant curviture and curved crown.

Here a link to a similar topic, where you can see what a Masiakasaurus tooth should look like. (Its in one of the comments)

Im not familiar whith sauropod teeth from there, so i'll pass on identifying them. But Rapetosaurus seems like a good guess on the first one i think ?

Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant. Where are the front and back referring to?

The carina is in this case the serrated cutting edge you find on this theropod tooth. Here are two pictures of one of my theropod tooth's carina, from the requested perspectives.

And here, the "Carina" explained.

The titanosaur teeth are all titanosaur at the very least. While Rapetosaurus krausei is the more common of the two, the often forgotten Vahiny depereti is also present. Its (Vahiny) teeth are not known, so at the moment, it's impossible to say if they are distinguishable or not.

Hmm, okay. That does not look like Masiakasaurus to me after all. But im not familiar whith theropods from there, so someone else has to identify it.

I believe first tooth to be smaller sized Majungasaurus tooth.

Worn part exaggerates the ammount of curvature on a back.

There's no such thing as too many teeth.
