Thanks for all the ID help lately. I've got another that's interesting to me, if you've got time. From the hell creek formation, Garfield Co, Montana CH: 12.1mm CBL: 4.6mm CBW: 3.0mm Mesial serration density: smooth, but curious to see if you perceive signs of worn denticles Distal serration density: about 4.33/mm Serration shape: tyrant or something else worn down?? Base cross-section: Oval--almost round Mesial carina: Hard to say if straight. Sort of seems straight but very offset from center. Almost looks like worn denticles here:

Hey, just want to ask for some opinion whether if this tooth looks like a genuine T-Rex? While its not so fat in terms of shape like some of the clear T-Rex teeth out there, I have seen some pictures of certain teeth that seem to look a little thinner and more curvy that are supposedly T-Rex, so I can't be sure. It's a Hell Creek tooth BTW. If its not a rex what could this possibly be? An Albertosaurus seem like a likely candidate? Though from what I can see so far, it seems like a nice-looking tooth eventhough it apparently have had some restoration work done to it. What do u guys think?

Does This Tooth Tip Serration Looks To Be In T-Rex's Domain?
AJ Plai posted a topic in Questions & Answers
A while ago I got myself what supposedly is a T-Rex tooth tip, though I have never been able to fully confirm whether if it was really a T-Rex or a Nanotyrannus. I have read about the T-Rex serration count (2 serration or less per mm, if I remember correctly) as a way to help identify a Rex tooth. Well, I have just managed to find a way to take a pic through a loupe with the tooth tip laying beside a tape measure to get a close-up of its serration. The tooth tip does seem to fit the bill (2 serration / mm) though, I think its probably better to upload the pics and let others with more expertise than me handling these teeth to take a look and share their input & opinions as well, just to be sure in case I may miss something. Anyway here is what the tooth tip looks like: And here are the pics of the serration count zoomed up close: So, does the tooth tip looks to be a T-Rex from the look of it? Thx in advance guys
