crocodile and theropod teeth
Hello all,
here is Thomas from Germany again (after some years of absence). ;-)
In a book of my son ("Supercroc" by Sereno), I found an interesting
picture, and maybe you as specialists can help me with the following
"problem": On one page, you could see a picture of a fossil crocodile
jaw with teeth, which had the same blade-like, flat form and similar
serrations as theropods like Allosaurus or Carcharodontosaurus. I knew
that there had been some crocs out there with serrated teeth (some even
found in middle-Europe), but these flat teeth on this pic really looked
similar to let's say Allosaurid-teeth. I was wondering about that,
because that could meen that many of the Theropod-Teeth out there could
be rather crocodile-teeth... Do you know more about this
crocodile-species, because genera, age and locality were not mentioned
in the book?
Many thanks in advance for your help and please excuse my englisch.
Greetings form Germany
Thomas
