CEP Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilsandScience Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I don’t know much about fossil preparing, but I personally would use the PaleoBond PaleoSculpt to fill in the gaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEP Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
