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 forum of a similar sized tooth with the same profile listed as dromeosaur. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Hello! I saw this interesting tooth for sale and I’m on the fence about purchasing it. It’s a .66” Nanotyrannus tooth from Garfield county Montana. The tip is restored but that doesn’t bother me. I’m posting because the base seemed a lot thicker than a lot of nanno teeth I see, and I also couldn’t really tell if there was any of the typical “pinching” on the sides. I was hoping for help determining if this is a Nanotyrannus tooth, or possibly a T. rex. Thanks!

STILL don't have our first T.Rex tooth yet
hadrosauridae posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I thought this year that my son had found our first T.Rex tooth. Its both larger and thicker than any of the Nanno teeth we have dug. I was 99% sure we had our rex until I just used my (crappy) phone camera to finally get a serration count. 2.8/mm. Thats clearly in the Nanno count. Maybe next year will be our year.

I’ve been noticing a lot of tyrannosaur teeth that seem almost intermediate between T.rex and Nannotyrannus. There are plenty of teeth that seem quite thin, and nanno like, but they lack the “pinching” at the base. I wasn’t sure if they should be considered rex or nanno. Maybe it has something to do with the base being incomplete, and maybe the pinching would be there had the majority of the base been in tact. If the base of the tooth where pinching normally would be on a nanno tooth is missing, is it possible for nanno teeth to have rex like base shapes?I was also wondering if it’s possible for nanno teeth to not have “pinching”. Is is posible for there to be some T. rex teeth that are just thin? I’ll post an example of a tooth base I saw that I thought had T. rex like shape, but nanno like thickness. It lacks pinching, but again I think the base is incomplete.
