- Partial Tyrannosaur Tooth (indet. Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, or Gorgosaurus)
- Judith River Formation, ~79-75 million years old – Chouteau County, Montana, USA
- 1.44 inches long (3.66cm)
This is a super cool partial tyrannosaur tooth. Complete from tip down to the root on the leading edge, with interesting oxidation coloration, along with a nice patch of enamel on one side.
Serrations are present on both the proximal and distal edges.
This tooth is 100% original with no restoration or filling. Tooth was found in 3 pieces and has been glued back together, about half of the lower portion is missing.
Tyrannosaur teeth of the Judith River Formation can originate from one of three tyrannosaur genera: Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, or Gorgosaurus. Because these three genera lived in approximately the same areas at the same time, and teeth of these three animals are so similar, the proper way to describe the identity of an individual isolated tooth found within the formation is to call it an “Indeterminate or Undetermined Tyrannosaur.” For more info on Tyrannosaurs of the Judith River Formation, click Here.
