Hi!
Im wondering if there is dinosaur teeth that are relatively easy to id when it comes down to a specific species? Like a dinosaur with very odd or distinctive looking teeth that cant be mistaken to be anything else.
I know that isolated teeth is often hard or impossible to id , but maybe there is some exception ?
Best regards

Easy, no, but there are some that experts can identify fairly confidently from an isolated tooth.

In combination with the location/ geological formation many dinosaur teeth can be IDed easily because there are only a few possible options.
If you have the tooth only without any information it is usually difficult to identify it (and often completely impossible).
