Eric9799 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Found the tooth to the right today, possibly a deformed Pseudoscapanorhynchus the one to the left is how it’s supposed to look like. Or is it another species? What do you guys think? Kristianstad Basin Sweden, Cretaceous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 hard to say... might be, root and shape looks like that it might be a pathologic one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomotodon Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 The tooth on the left is an Archaeolamna, but the tooth on the right looks correct for a Pseudoscapanorhynchus. It is probably not pathological - such mesio-distal compression and a strong lingual protuberance are typical of this genus. I don't believe any species are described from the Campanian (youngest record of P. compressidens is Coniacian), and Einarsson, 2018 call the Kristianstad basin fossils P. sp. 1 The Tooth Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the id, I think google was showing me the wrong teeth it was showing me pictures of Archaeolamna when I searched for Pseudoscapanorhynchus. But I can’t find any reference pictures of Pseudoscapanorhynchus that looks like my tooth it’s so stubby compared to the others I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
