Possible Megaraptoran from the Lameta Formation?

[DinoNerdBoi owo]

Hello there! I recently emailed Mickey Mortimer regarding this interesting tooth from the Lameta Formation that didn't look abelisauroid. She recommended that I ask for feedback here.  I have a document which explains what I mean. Also I have included the original paper too. What are your thoughts? Please let me know.

Thank you

I'm just an enthusiast, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but the similarities are indeed apparent. It's the depression on the lingual side that sticks out to me. Assuming that is a genuine feature of the tooth, and not just damage to the fossil itself, it warrants further investigation.

Interesting point. To my knowledge, a theropod tooth has been found in the Kallamedu Formation that bears a close resemblance to those of troodontid.

There is actually another tooth described in the paper that Mortimer and Ford consider to be troodontid.

Seems the Lameta Formation hates preserving non-abelisauroid body fossils
