Troodon Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I would call that first tooth Acheroraptor. The second looks like a juvie indeterminate Tyrannosaurid either Gorgo or Daspleto. Do you have a locality where that second tooth came from other than Montana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Sellers need to their homework before they list a tooth. Size or what their source is telling them just does not work. It's not easy, since small Nano teeth look a lot like DR and Dromaeosaurus teeth look like small tyrannosaurid teeth. Both teeth are pretty hard to find.

Joebiwan3 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 @Troodon i agree but i have to say in my limited experience buying that most of the online sellers i have worked with have tried to find me what im looking for and have sent multiple emails back amd forth with me . Also even when a tooth hasnt checked out such as the dakotaraptor tooth i posted ive still been happy with the quality of the specimen....but now since a few dromaeosaur teeth i purchased ended up being tyrannosaur after we looked more closely at them i need to buckle down and really check to see what im getting before i purchase....

It’s been my experience that educating yourself and using the forum are really important. Read up on the Dromaeosaur material that is published and then be patient. You already use the forum which is also very important. It took me quite awhile to find a Dromaeosaurus tooth but I studied a lot and eventually found one. Great teeth btw. We don’t have any Two Medicine material so congrats on that Tyrannosaur tooth ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebiwan3 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 @fossilsonwheels thanks ! Yes im happy with everything ive collected thus far and the TM tyrannosaur tooth is nice for sure. I guess a plus of having a dromaeosaur tooth end up being a tyrannosaur is ive gotten them for much cheaper than i probably would have paid if it were labeled as a tyrannosaur. I see tyrannosaur teeth are much more expensive than dromaeosaur and i think from what everyones been telling me JR and TM dromie teeth are harder to find . I guess people will just pay more for something labeled tyrannosaur.....im learning alot on this forum on what to look for in these teeth for sure.
