sixgill pete Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Is the first one S. kaupi, and is the second one S. pristodontus ? I agree the first is S. kaupi, however I think the second is S.falcatus. Just my observation on these two teeth.

Carl Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Neither is S. pristodontus. I think they may both be S. kaupi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hieronymus Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 If they are both in-situ finds from the Demopolis formation (middle Campanian), I would consider both of them to be S. kaupi. http://rhaetianlorraine.webs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diplotomodon Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Well, I can't realy speak for Italy, but both those species are found here in NJ. They both look like S. kaupi to me. What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read. Many a new page I fancy will yet be opened. -- Edward Hitchcock, 1858 Formerly known on the forum as Crimsonraptor @Diplotomodon on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
