Sauropterygia cf. Nothosaurus, tooth, 5/UMK

Sauropterygia cf. Nothosaurus

Middle Triassic, Upper Muschelkalk (Ladinian), Upper Silesia, Poland

The largest Sauropterygian tooth in my collection. Unfortunately, the specimen’s preservation leaves something to be desired, especially since the apex of the tooth is missing. In any case, a tooth of this size must have belonged to a large individual.

Obtaining it required considerable effort, and I managed to do so at the last minute. Unfortunately, the site where I found it is no longer of any value, and all the rock material has been removed.
