Josesaurus rex Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hello again. I saw this supposedly Daspletosaurus tooth, said to be from the Two Medicine Formation, Montana. It measures approximately 1.5 inches. If you could help me, I would appreciate it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellamyBlake Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 It's very hard to differentiate between Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus as far as that locality goes. You'd need serration counts to get an ID, potentially. Troodon discusses it here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 You first need to obtain a locality to determine if its actually from the TMF and then a serration count like I mention in the topic shown above no guarantee either way. That size very difficult to ID. It's a nice indeterminate tyrannosaurid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josesaurus rex Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 Ok, thanks, @BellamyBlake and @Troodon I'll ask the seller that to see if he can. The denticle count should be the amount every 5 millimeters or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josesaurus rex Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 I read step two, @Troodon I think that from the photos the tooth resembles a Distal Dentary position, but I could not be sure obviously nor be able to say how many denticles it has per 5 mm without having the tooth in my hands. And I don't think the seller has that much patience to do all that. If I can buy it, I could do that, I hope the seller accepts the offer. Greetings and thanks again.

Troodon Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Okay but do get a location so we know it's from the TMF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montana also has the Judith River Formation. You'll want a county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
