Tooth comparisons of rhomaleosaurids with IVPG-S01, showing the differences of crown curvature (CC). a Lateral view of IVPG-S01, CC = 1.08; b Lateral view of Bishanopliosaurus youngi (ZDM 40001), from Peng et al. 2005, CC = 1.22; c Lateral view of Rhomaleosaurus victor, from Massare 1987, CC = 1.15; d Lateral view of Thaumatodracon wiedenrothi, from Smith and Araujo 2017, CC ≈ 1.2; e Lateral view of Meyerasaurus victor, modified from Smith and Vincent 2010, CC ≈ 1.3. Scale bars = 20 mm. CC of the two teeth d and e are only a rough numerical value, because they do not completely expose the crown
