I've just received this weird little tooth from the Hell Creek Formation. It was sold to me as a Dromaeosaur premax tooth but I have my doubts as it's quite robust. That said, the other candidate would be a Tyrannosaur and I've never seen a premax tooth with a twist like this. What's more, the carinae are strange - one has nice crisp serrations (I thought they looked a lot like Tyrannosaur serrations) while the other is smooth (it doesn't look like it ever had any serrations). Anyone have any idea what it might be?

Nanotyrannus legitimacy
thelivingdead531 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone! Today is my birthday and I’m looking to treat myself to a Nanotyrannus lancensis tooth! I’m looking at this one, but these are the only two photos that the seller has listed. It is listed as being 1 1/16 in long and collected from the Hell Creek Formation in Powder River Co., Montana. Do I need to ask for addition photos of the base and tip, or is this enough to satisfy? Thanks in advance!- 24 replies

I just saw this tooth listed as Dakotaraptor. It's 3/4" long. Most of these "Dakotaraptor" teeth I see just scream Nanotyrannus, but I'm not so sure on this one. I looked at my Acheroraptor and Nanotyrannus teeth and the distal serrations look a bit more like those of Acheroraptor - especially those near the base. Unfortunately, the mesial serrations are all worn off. What do you guys think?

For context, I have received these photos from the shop that I have done business with previously. I want to ensure that these are rex teeth and not another genus. I acknowledge that these pictures do not show the base of the teeth which seems to be the tell tale differentiation, in addition to measurements of scale and so on. Therefore, I just would like to see the opinions of those on the forum with the pictures provided, I wish I was able to take more appropriate photos of the specimens. Tooth #1 strikes me as a likely rex candidate simply because of the robustness, #2 I'm not so sure. Not an expert on theropod teeth by any means. Thank you all! (The 98 million year old age is a typo, they have a more expensive tooth with the appropriate age of 68 million years)

I got this tooth a while ago, and It was sold to me as T-Rex. I’m not really sure if it is indeed from one, or a Nanotyrannus. It’s a small tooth, found in the Hell Creek formation. Either way it’ll still be one of my favorite teeth. I’ll post some pictures.

I got this worn theropod tooth a little while ago. It's labeled as Nanotyrannus from the Lance Formation, Weston County, Wyoming. However, it looks a bit odd compared to other Nano teeth I've seen. Is it a tip from a larger tooth? Can it even be identified when this worn? Have at it Scale is in centimeters

I've been looking at this tooth labeled Nanotyrannus from the Lance Formation in Wyoming (scale is in cm) . Now, the photos aren't great but I'm sort of wondering if it really is Nanotyrannus. It isn't quite as rectangular as other nano teeth I've seen (though I'll readily admit that I haven't seen a lot) and seems less curved. Any thoughts?

Is this tooth dakotaraptor or nano?
Captcrunch227 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello all. Seller has this labeled as a dakotaraptor tooth. After hours of my own research and still being unable to come to a clear conclusion I decided to post here for help. Troodons guide helped a great deal but I still couldn't be positive. Any help is greatly appreciated.- 16 replies

Hello Fossil Forum, on the German version of our favorite auction site I found something strange. It’s a theropod tooth which looks to me like a tyrannosaurid tooth from Hell Creek formation. Nothing special so far but that the seller claims it’s an exceptionally well made replica! Is that possible?! If so, I feel no longer able to tell a real from a fake tooth. It would be the best tooth replica I’ve ever seen. How could the serration and enamel be faked so well? But if it’s real, why would the seller claim it’s not? Any opinions? I’m not planning to buy it, just curious... Regards, Vertebrate

And now my last fossil for the night, one of my favorite fossils in my collection ever is the theropod claw my dad found (I always give credit when he's the discoverer) in the Lance fm. of Wyoming the summer before last. It was identified by the guide as potentially being a Nanotyrannus hand claw but I wanted to confirm that with other members on TFF. It's about 2.5 cm in length.

I'm still on the fence about if Nanotyannus l. is a valid genus or not. I used to be firmly on the "Juvenile T.rex" side with Carr but some arguments such as the odd limb proportions on "Bloody Mary", tooth counts in actual juvenile Tyrannosaurus like "Baby Bob", and there being two "types" of Tyrannosaurid teeth in Hell Creek with overlapping sizes but very different shapes which don't all seem to be cases of it being teeth from different parts of the mouth, have shifted me to being open to both sides. I suppose it does make ecological sense for there to be a medium-size carnivore in the same region as a very large predator as the prey taken would likely differ drastically. So while I'm undecided, I can certainly see either argument being true. But hypothetically speaking, if Nanotyrannus turns out to be a valid genus, what branch of the family tree exactly would it come from? Based off time and location I'd be tempted to say it's a Tyrannosaurinae like Tarbosaurus or Tyrannosaurus, but last I checked most definite members of that group tended to be a lot more robust. I also recall when it was first described, Gilmore called it a species of Gorgosaurus. The lean build and thinner teeth do align with Albertosaurinae, but they could be convergently evolved I suppose.

Hello everyone, I'm new here! Are there anyone who can identify these teeth? The shop says they are dromaeosaurid, but I think these might be from Nanotyrannus. Their crown morph clearly not Acheroraptor. Many thanks in advance!

Hi! I have a tooth tip from hell creek formation but I dont know if its nano or rex, the serration count fits within the t-rex range with 2 serrations/mm , but I do think its quite slender for a rex tooth. What do you think? I tried my best to get a photo of the serrations but it wasn't very easy. The tooth tip is just 16 mm.

Hello TFF! This is my first post (finally just made an account after some technical difficulties, thanks @Fossildude19 for your help!) although I've been reading up for the past few months on this site. I am looking to purchase this Nanotyrannus tooth from an auction site, and I have included all of the pictures provided on the listing. I understand that this is a very rough tooth (the seller clearly states this as well and doesnt try to mislead in the slightest) and I just want to make sure that it is actually a Nanotyrannus tooth. The seller states it is from the Hell Creek Formation, 1.25" long, feeding worn tip, and wear grooves from the opposing teeth. The seller also states that there has been no restoration/repair done, other than some fossil glue used to stabilize the tip, and a COA can be included following purchase. I'm just looking for confirmation that it is a nanotyrannus tooth, or even a tyrannosaurid tooth. I tried to include all of the info I.D. posts usually need, but if I missed anything please let me know. Thank you all for your help! I really appreciate it!

Hi all, I am new to the forum and new to collecting =) I recently obtained this nice tooth labeled as Dromaeosaur sp. premax. tooth - I would like to get a more refined ID if possible. It was found in the Hell Creek Fm., Powder River Co., Montana and measures 15/16". Denticle count per 5mm is distal 18, mesial 24 (not many denticles visible mesial though). I found a thread here stating it is possible to distinguish Nanotyrannus from Dakotaraptor teeth by the shape of the denticles - however I find this very hard as rookie. Any help is appreciated!

I got this from a guy who found it at Montana the Hell Creek area. I was wondering if it was a Nanotyrannus Tooth or a different carnivore?

MORE PICTURES IN LOWER POSTS! Howdy everyone! I picked up this tooth not long ago and am curious if it is either nanotyrannus or T-Rex? Tooth comes from the hell creek formation. It was sold to me as nanotyrannus but it seems somewhat bulky and thick at the bottom so I thought I'd ask. Tooth is roughly 1-3/8" long in a straight line. Thanks for the help everyone!
