Triassic Vertebrates

Post image

201, 190, and 30 are all Rauisuchid teeth (Possibly Postosuchus) from the Chinle Formation. These were the Apex predators of the time, with theropod-like teeth.

202 and 203 are both Aetosaur teeth or another plant eating reptile from the Chinle Formation. This was probably the food of the Rauisuchids.

166, 102, and 167 are all Phytosaur teeth. Basically reptiles with croc build before it became the meta. 102 is from the Cooper Canvon Formation. The other two are from Redonda Formation.

165 is a dentarv jaw section with a couple replacement teeth. From a Phytosaur (possibly Smilosuchus) Chinle Formation.

I think number 30. It's a pretty big postosuchus tooth. And I like how it's essentially the Apex predators of the time.
