Does this look like a Suchomimus Tooth?

[Muffinman217]

Hi guys my search for a Suchomimus tooth continues. I have come across this specimen at a decent price and i am thinking of purchasing it.

 

However does this look like a definitive tooth from the species Suchomimus.

 

The size is roughly 2 inches (5cm) and is from the Tenere desert of the Erlhaz formation in Niger

 

Thank you so much for any thoughts

Everything on this tooth indicates Suchomimus tenerensis, or Spinosaurid indet.

Looks like a Suchomimus yes. Oh boy did the tooth have better days though

I agree that it has seen better days once, but me, personaly, quite likes the look of it !

 

Maybe we have different tastes in fossil preservation, but I really love the look of once broken, worn, or not so good preserved fossils. I like that you can see on those, that the fossil has gone through something, and has its own story to tell 

 

But in the end, all what matters is how YOU like it, if YOU would be happy with it, and if YOU would decide to buy it, @Muffinman217 !

Thank you Brevicollis, i tend to agree with you i like teeth that are a little worn it shows that it experienced some action! I also prioritise size as that way it has a higher chance of being from a fully grown individual
