Compy Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi, I am considering to buy this tooth for my collection. According to the seller it is a Leptoceratops from the Lance Creek formation, North-Central Niobrara County, Eastern Wyoming. As I am not very familiar with such teeth I would like to check with you guys here. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner64 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 It looks like a Leptoceratops tooth because it only has a single root protruding down. Also, it’s not from the Lance Creek Formation but the Lance formation. A common misconception among fossil sellers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I think Lept is a good guess. Closer up photos would help. And, yes, it is called the Lance Formation, not Lance Creek. So if you buy it, you can label it correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
