Abstract
An isolated theropod tooth from the Early Cretaceous Sebayashi Formation is 
described. It is almost identical to those of the 
possible spinosaurid theropod Siamosaurus from the Early Cretaceous 
Sao Khua Formation of Thailand and it is tentatively reffered to the 
Spinosauridae. The tooth represents the second dinosaur species to be
identified from the Sebayashi Formation and the second report of the
family Spinosauridae in Asia.
