Hi Everyone! I picked up this piece on my recent trip to Tucson. It's definitely Tyrannosaur from Hell Creek (Garfield County, Montana) the question of course is what would be the proper label for it. The size and thickness makes juvie rex tempting but the base is too damaged to see if there's a pinch and I've seen Nanos this size before. Both I and the seller were thinking indet. Tyrannosaur while discussing the tooth, but I figured it couldn't hurt to post it here in case anyone sees something we missed. CH: 36.8 mm CBW: 9.88 mm CBL: Hard to measure since there's a piece missing but it's 12.4 mm with damage and probably 15-16 mm if undamaged. Any insight is appreciated as always!

Hello everyone, first post from me here. I have a 1.8 cm (roughly 0.71" for those who don't use the metric system) Hell Creek tyrannosaurid tooth that is in need of identification. Currently, the tooth is labeled as N. lancensis, though a while ago, the seller labeled the tooth as a juvie T. rex, and now I'm confused about whether I should label it as a Nano, a Rex or a Tyrannosauridae indet. (though since it's from HC it should be either of the first two) Notes: - Total serration count: 55 on both sides. - Pic 1, which consists of shots of the same tooth taken from all angles, was sent to me by the seller (the sketch in red was also his), which shows how the tooth is laterally compressed - quite interesting and not very T. rex-like, considering that even juvenile T. rex teeth are quite bulky. Moreover, the mesial carinae also ends quite high. Because of this, I had some doubts about his ID and would like a second opinion. TIA!

Hi everyone! I have my eye on this piece that is claimed to be a belly rib from a T-Rex from the Lance Formation of Niobara County Wyoming. The seller claims it's robustness positively ids it as rex, but seems to have forgotten to list exact measurements, which I have contacted him about and am awaiting a response which I will post as soon as I get it. Even then, always good to double check these things! Any insight is greatly appreciated as always!
