DatFossilBoy Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hey guys, I saw this tooth from Uzbekistan labeled as undescribed and as a possible Dromaeosaurid. Is it? Does someone have an idea? Maybe @Troodon can help on this one. It is 3,2cm. Here are some pictures. Thanks and kind regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner64 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Serrations are needed for this type of assessment and they seem quite worn to make a definitive call. Dromaeosaur teeth from Uzbekistan are not quite as distinct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Its unequivocally not a Dromaeosaurid, too large, not recurved or compressed enough to be one. Might be from one of the enigmatic dino like Paronychodon asiaticus but it size just suggest it's just might be a Timurlengia or some other indeterminate theropod 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatFossilBoy Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Thank you both for your imputs! Can you tell If it is indeed from timurlengia or if it is for sure not? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
