Tyrannosaurus rex, 2.038”, Carter Co., MT
GTS posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Fellow members, I am considering purchasing this tooth which is advertised as being a T. rex tooth from the HCF of Carter Co., MT. The seller isn’t able to provide the nearest town. The enamel isn’t perfect but I am guessing that much of the value will be in the length. I am told that there is no repair nor restoration - can anyone see any evidence that might suggest otherwise? The description also states that there is some partial root present. From research, it seems to be an average specimen as is typically found. Or perhaps somewhat above average given that most teeth found are in a worse state. Might members agree that this is a nice 2” T. rex tooth (albeit with some enamel missing) at this price point. There are better out there but those perfect examples will be well north of much more, one suspects. Thankyou in advance.- 11 replies

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.

From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations
A young T. rex tooth. The preservation of the enamel is fantastic, and I like the dark hues. The serrations are also in great shape. There is some minor feeding wear on the tip.-

Hey y'all. I've had this therapod tooth for a while, and I'm wondering if an id can be placed on it. It's completely shattered unfortunately, so I don't expect an id to be easy. It's from the Hell Creek formation. It was labeled as T. rex, but I'm not convinced. Though, I've very little knowledge of dinosaur teeth. I've attached various photos of the tooth in question, and some reference serrations from a probable rex. Thank you!

From the album: My Collection
Hell Creek Formation, Faith, South Dakota, USA It is a beautiful tooth with no restoration. The tooth has the characteristic d shape profile of a trex tooth on the basal side and this sort of preservation is actually fairly common with tooth also collected from other locations such as Wyoming. The first ever dinosaur tooth that I owned!-
