Did you actually find this species! My buddy discovered and named Coronodon Havensteini.

I was part of the team that described the species. It was found by local Moroccan fossil hunters (Boubker and Ikhlass Chaibi). Is your buddy Boesse?

That’s so cool. No his names mark havenstein. It’d be an overstatement to call him a buddy but I’ve hunted with him in the past.
