Troodon Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I need to see a straight in shot of the mesial carina without fingers which really make identification of your teeth difficult. I suggested before to use putty to hold your teeth not fingers. I also see 4/mm on the distal edge not 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadrosauridae Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Looks just like the Dromaeosaur tooth I have from TD, but again, whoever your getting these from should already have a positive ID with it. 1 "There is no shortage of fossils.

Troodon Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Still need that photo but getting more comfortable that this is a Tyrannosaurid tooth. Overall shape and the Denticles, the three to the right are chisel shaped. Cannot be Dromaeosaurid since the serration density of both carinae is the same 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyBoy Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Agree if those serrations are identical cannot be a Dromaeosaurid. My vote is juvie Trex based on the shape of the denticles and the cross-section of base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
