TheDinosaurKing Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Hello All I haven't the foggiest idea what species this tooth i saw on an online site is. @Troodon can you or someone else id this tooth for me? All I know is it Is 1 1/2 " long i don't have a location for this nice carnivore tooth. Thanks in Advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjfriend Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Without better photos, more angles, and locality info i doubt you can get any firm ID's. No way to tell the complete shape or see any serration counts with this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Agree, What is needed to start to ID this tooth is its provenance then we need more photos and possibly other characteristics. . There are many Theropod teeth with this similar shape so locality, age is very important for identification and without it all you can say its an indeterminate theropod.

Goldkaiser Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I’ve asked the seller as I was also interested in this tooth due to the low price atm but the seller apparently has no locality data or provenance for any of his fossils unless otherwise stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDinosaurKing Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 I hope these can help with the id process. My guess was Allosaurus Jimmadensi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Again without a provenance it's impossible to ID this tooth. Certainly does not look Allosaurid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly does not look Allosaurid Sadly that's what i thought. However is there a certain family to label this one as? It's color seems to match morrison or judith river.

Troodon Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Color is typical of the Morrison and Two Medicine Fm. However I've seen black teeth from the Hell Creek and Judith. It could be a tyrannosaurid if its Cretaceous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
