tyrannosaurus, hadrosaur and other Dino Teeth Repair and Restoration?


CEP

Recommended Posts

A couple of the bigger Tyrannosaurus teeth I found this summer in Montana Judith River formation. I found this 3" tyrannosaurus tooth in about 400 pieces and was able to piece about 80% of it together over about 3 weeks and 30 hours, the other one is almost as big but was only in about 30 pieces and is still a nice brown color. I am no professional and did not want to pay thousands to have someone do it for me. I would like to get it filled in and solid, is there some putty or epoxy used to fill it in and hold it all together? Also had some other smaller Hadrosaur teeth I believe and maybe a croc tooth but not certain. can anyone ID those?

I don’t know much about fossil preparing, but I personally would use the PaleoBond PaleoSculpt to fill in the gaps!

Nice work with the larger tooth.  It does not cost thousands to get a tooth professionally restored by someone who can match the color and most important the sheen.  On Tyrannosaurid teeth it may be worth it.  Not small teeth.  Let me suggest someone in Alberta who does lots of Tyrannosaurid teeth and he may be willing to do it.   Will PM you

 

Need to see photos of both side and base of what you believe is a croc tooth in you above photo.  What I see is a hadro tooth, gar scale and fragment might be a ceratopsian spitter but need better pictures.  Also a closeup of the hadro tooth

Thank you for the info. Here are some closer looks of the teeth. Not sure if the 2nd from the left is but looked toothy.

The hadro tooth might be a Gryposaurus they typically have denticles but finer ones.  Need sharper photos and closups of you two middle teeth.  I dont think its croc.
