The first megalosaurid tooth from South Korea

摘要

We describe a theropod tooth from the Early Cretaceous of South Korea. It is similar to the teeth of Prodeinodon from the Early Cretaceous of Mongolia and Guangxi, China and the teeth of Szechuanosaurus campi from the Late Jurassic of Kuangyuan, N. Sichuan, China. The tooth is slender antero-posteriorly and its posterior margin is straight. This discovery confirms that megalosaurids survived beyond the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary and occurred in Europe, North America and East Asia.
