Excellent 0.15 inch tooth

Reptile, Archosaur.

Once considered an early ornithischian dinosaur based on isolated teeth, Revueltosaurus is now classified as a pseudosuchian archosaur which makes it more closely related to early crocodilians.  The reassignment is due to more complete remains, including skeletons, being found.
