    Juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex Tooth

    Identification Though smaller than many imagine T. rex teeth to be, this is indisputably one. It is characteristically robust, and has chisel-shaped denticles with similar denticle densities on each carina.1 Those qualities support its identification as a Tyrannosaurid, and with the locality information confirming it originated from the Hell Creek formation, this must be T. rex. Comments Like most isolated theropod teeth, this is a shed tooth, likely lost during feeding.2 This specimen has exquisite preservation with the enamel texture sharply retained as in life. It however has
  2. Hi TFF friends, how are you? After reading, Caleb M. Brown, Philip J. Currie, and Francois Therrien, Intraspecific facial bite marks in tyrannosaurids provide insight into sexual maturity and evolution of bird-like intersexual display I decided to see if our Tyrannosaurus rex replicas (MOR 555) had any visible facial bite marks. I noticed it had 2 big scars, one on the maxilla and one on the dentary. Does anyone know if they are actually Intraspecific bite marks (MOR 555 is not cited among the Tyrannosaurus rex studied for the previously cited study
  3. As a freshmen in College, I did a little extra credit report for my geology class about a controversial topic - Tyrannosauroidea diversity in the Southern Hemisphere during the Jurassic-Early Late Cretaceous periods. I was quite surprised at the amount of specimens I found. This diversity likely was the result of an early spread of the early tyrannosaur group Pantyrannosauria into Africa, Eurasia, and North America during the Jurassic and diversified once the land connecting these continents spread out more. Most of these species lived during the Early Cretaceous, though one or two exceptions
  4. Tyrannosauridae Dinosaur diversity was unique in the Western and Eastern areas of the North American Continent during the Late Cretaceous era around 95-66 Million Years ago) as a result of a seaway the cut the continent in two (creating the continents of Laramidia (now Western North America) and Appalachia (now Eastern North America)). By the Maastrichtian stage of the Cretaceous 68 Million Years ago, the seaway decreased in size and a land bride formed between Laramidia and Appalachia. https://deeptimemaps.com/western-interior-seaway/

    Dromeosaur or Tyrannosaur tooth?

    Hello! I’ve had this tooth for a while now and always labeled it as nannotyrannus, since that’s what I bought it as. It’s about .8” long, supposed to be from the Hell Creek formation but no other locality was listed, so I understand an ID might not be 100%. I was just wondering broadly if it was a tryannosaur or dromeosaur tooth. At first I thought tyrannosaur because it’s kind of thick for its size and has large serrations. It also looks like it has “pinching” on only the right side in the base picture which made me think it was a nanno tooth specifically. Then I saw a picture posted on the f
  6. Recently acquired this beautiful T. rex tooth, just over 5cm / 2” length. Such teeth are typically dark brown / mahogany coloured but this specimen appears to have escaped the usual staining. The location of find (Hell Creek Fmn, nr. Mosby, Garfield Co., Montana, USA), basal rectangular cross section and thicker enamel supports identification that this is a Tyrannosaurus rex maxillary tooth. The fact that the whitish / pale colouration is consistent throughout, absence of pitting / “dried out” appearance / absence of splintering would seem to preclude sun-bleaching.

    T-rex tooth or Nanotyrannus tooth ?

    Hello everyone ! I bought this Tyrannosaur tooth and the seller told me it was either a Tyrannosaurus rex or a Nanotyrannus. Can you tell me if it's a T-rex or a Nanotyrannus ? It's a premaxillary tooth. It comes from Hell Creek formation in South Dakota.
  8. I've recently found a, how do I say...quite unusual Theropod dinosaur tooth from the Late Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation (67-66.0 Million Years ago). The paper, titled The occurrences of vertebrate fossils in the Deadhorse Coulee Member of the Milk River Formation and their implications for provincialism and evolution in the Santonian (Late Cretaceous) of North America by Derek Williams Larson, is a record of theropod teeth from various Late Cretaceous formations in Western North America, and buried on page 244 of the report an apparent megalosauridae tooth (UCMP120305) from the Hell Creek Fo
  9. Along with an interest in Pennsylvanian fish diversity, I've also had an interest (like many others studying Paleontology) in the diversity of Dinosaur genera during the Cretaceous era (particularly the Theropod diversity in North America during the Maastrichtian period 72.1-66 Million years ago). Compared to the preceding Campanian period (83.6-72.1 Million years ago), I've noticed there is a slightly less number of known Tyannosauridae genera in Western North America (at the time a separate continent known as Laramidia). I've come up with a list of confirmed known and possible Tyrannosaurida
  10. Something that has been baffling me for a while is the fate of the European genera of Tyrannosauridae after the Mid Cretaceous. Multiple Tyrannosauridae genera including Proceratosaurus (Tyrannosauridae, England, Great Britain, Middle Jurassic (166 Million Years ago): ironically one of the earliest known Tyrannosauridae from the fossil record currently known), Eotyrannus (Tyrannosauridae, Wessex Formation, Isle of Wight, Early Cretaceous (136.4-125.45 Million Years ago)) and an unnamed Tyrannosauridae genera from Germany (Early Cretaceous (130.0-122.5 Million Years ago)) are known
  11. The two most prominent hypothesizes on the direct evolutionary origin of perhaps the most famous Theropod Dinosaur from the fossil record, Tyrannosaurus Rex (Tyrannosauridae, Late Cretaceous (68-66 Million Years ago)) are what I call the Laramidia and Asian Origins. The Laramidia origin (named after the region of the Western North America which was a separate Continent during most of the Late Cretaceous and home to a vast amount of dinosaurs including Tyrannosaurus rex) hypothesizes that Tyrannosaurus rex is the direct descendent of and evolved from slightly older North American T

    Juvenile T. rex tooth

    Interesting blue color near the base, and some feeding wear at the tip of this immature Tyrannosaurid tooth.
  13. Hello, I was doing a study on the T. rex and Nanotyrannus teeth specimens I had, and I wanted to compare them against a list of known T. rex teeth with measurement. The paper: Dental Morphology and Variation in Theropod Dinosaurs: Implications for the Taxonomic Identification of Isolated Teeth (JOSHUA B. SMITH, DAVID R. VANN, AND PETER DODSON) contains a list of 115 T. rex teeth. To make it easier to compare and read the data, I combined the measurements into a single chart, added colors and lines for ease of reading, and added the size and names of the T. rex used in the study Fee
  14. I recently found an extremely interesting paper published in the Journal of Comparative Neurology a few days ago by Professor Suzana Herculano-Houzel of Vanderbilt University about the neuron activity within the brain of the Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex (Western North America, Maastrichtian Cretaceous 68.0-66.0 million years ago). The study states there is evidence (based on the size of of the Cerebrum section of its brain and the hypothetical amount of neurons (of which for the study M=Millions of Neurons) present in the brain based on its size) Tyrannosaurus rex had between 2,207-3,289M telenc
  15. A while back, I was researching the number of likely Tyrannosauroidea dinosaurs that inhabited the Southern Hemisphere (I know this is a very controversial subject) in the Early Cretaceous for an extra credit research paper I was doing for my freshmen year college geology class. As I was looking for data for the paper, I found an unusual data entry on the paleontological database website fossilworks.org - It lists Tyrannosauridae remains from Jurassic Madagascar. http://www.fossilworks.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?a=collectionSearch&collection_no=55391 The specimen
  16. I've heard very recently about the upcoming sale of the Tyrannosaurus Rex Skull Maximus and I'm horrified another priceless dinosaur specimen is once again out of the hands of science and into the hands of the ultra rich. This Smithsonian article is a great summary of what's happening, though it incorrectly states the specimen's age at 76 Million years old (T-Rex lived between 68-66 Million Years ago). https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a-t-rex-skull-named-maximus-could-fetch-15-to-20-million-at-auction-180981116/ Though the fossil trade occurs around the world,

    Tyrannosaurid premaxillary tooth

    "That some of these teeth are mammalian incisors there can be but little doubt..." - O. C. Marsh1 This kind of incisor-like ("incisiform") tooth was originally thought to have belonged to a large, Cretaceous mammal. Later discoveries revealed that these teeth were actually the front teeth ("premaxillary teeth") of Tyrannosaurs - and are now known as a hallmark of their clade, Tyrannosauroidea (along with fused nasals). Closely-spaced, parallel grooves on bones suggest that Tyrannosaurs used these teeth to selectively scrape meat from bone2. Identification Tyrannosaurid premaxil

Should Nanotyrannus be valid, then this should be considered an indeterminate Tyrannosaurid.

  22. There's a new documentary about dinosaurs (Prehistoric Planet). In this documentary we see a lot of dinosaurs and their appearance is quite different from movies (JW series) one of the most interesting is the Tyrannosaurus rex. This is because The T.rex had lips instead of showing cusps of their maxilla teeth. Actually, I really like the new look. It looks more like an animal than a monster from movies, but i'm very curious why did T.rex have lips? what is their evidence? I'm more interested in the basis for their idea. Does anyone know which paper has mentioned or discu
  23. Hi, Dear guys. I had a question about T.rex teeth I'm very confused by this question and hope to get an answer. we knew a T.rex‘s dentary tooth that will have a pinch in one side with the tongue. how about a maxilla tooth that will also have a pinch on one side? I guess that answer is not. And about another question: There is a tooth available online. Is it a dentary/maxilla tooth? and why. Please. From Weston County, Wyoming, United States 7¼ inches (18.5 cm) in length. Thanks guys for the help. Have a nice day. from Chris
