What kind of tooth is this. I was thinking Megalosaurid.

 

I only have one image.

Hello,

Where was this found ?
The formation is one of the most important things to know if you want to have an ID.

That was what I was thinking. Baby Carcharodontasaurus?

It might be Carcharodontosaurid, but I think that Abelisaurid might be also a reasonable guess.

But when even the formation is questionable, I think we can only ID it as theropoda indet.

Maybe a more experienced member can further identify it.

Got me. Feel free to take a look at these guides. You'll need alot more than a single picture though. Locality being the single most important item.  At that size though could be anything.

I think it looks more Abelisaurid from Kem Kem, as well.

I can say that it does not appear to be megalosaurid.

If it is from Ivalo III, it would be theropod indet since so little is known from there.

But I have not seen too many teeth from there.

 

What comes to the preservation I would consider Maevarano. Shape could fit with Majungasaurus, but denticles look quite rough compared what I usually see.

But hard to say for sure from one picture.

There's no such thing as too many teeth.

Yes , this is appears to be a tooth of Majungasaurus crenatissimus from Madagascar, an Abelisauridae. They are not that rare, perhaps a little more rare then an Abelisaurid from the KemKem groups.

 

A seller should provide proper provenance, always. If not: Avoid - unless you are 100% sure to know what you are doing, in this case you cannot.
