Scientific name: cf †Narindasaurus thevenini (Royo-Torres et al., 2020) - Turiasaurian Sauropod Dinosaur Tooth Location: Ambondromamy village near the northwestern coast of Madagascar Geological Formation: Isao III Formation, Madagascar’s Mahajanga Basin Age: Middle Jurassic, Bajocian-Bathonian stage, (~168-165 Million Years) Size: 2,1cm REF.: #J510 DESCRIPTION: Narindasaurus (specifically Narindasaurus thevenini) is a genus of turiasaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic of Madagascar. Its teeth are characteristic of the Turiasauria clade. Key Features of Narindasaurus Teeth: Heart-Shaped: The crowns have a distinct heart-shaped morphology, which is a key diagnostic feature of turiasaurs. Asymmetrical: The teeth are asymmetric and often show a lingual curvature (curving toward the tongue). D-shaped Cross-section: The teeth have an asymmetrical "D" shape, with a convex labial (outer) face and a flatter or slightly concave lingual (inner) face. Surface Texture: The enamel surface is often described as rough. Size and Shape: They are generally spatulate (spoon-shaped) and robust, adapted for feeding on plants. With quite well developed serrations. The shape is relatively similar to that of Archaeodontosaurus, but it has the characteristic asymmetry of Turiasaurid teeth. Narindasaurus is one of the oldest known members of the Turiasauria group, with fossils discovered in the Middle Jurassic of Isalo III Formation of Madagascar.
