- Tyrannosaur Tooth (indet. Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, or Gorgosaurus)
- Judith River Formation, ~79-75 million years old – Chouteau County, Montana, USA
- 1.04 inches long (2.64cm)
This super cool tyrannosaur tooth is partially complete down to the root with nice oxidation coloration. Great serrations are present on both the proximal and distal ends. There is a small area near the root with beautiful un-oxidized enamel, displaying the original fossil coloration.
This tooth is 100% original with no restoration or filling. The tip and about 1/4 of the tooth 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
